Strange. I'll send elitewrap to SARC just in case it really is >creating a trojan (but if it is, why didn't NAV detect anything in the >elitewrap program?) I doubt if its creating a trojan. NAV will be alarming on the "unwrapping" code (I don't know what that program does, maybe it compresses, encrypts, or something). There are probably one or more known Backdoors that are processed with elitewrap. Good idea to send it to Symantec. They'll want to be sure that they are alarming on real trojans, not just the elitewrap code. Bob
