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.
