While I was SCANning my HD I came across a Virus/Trojan. SCAN told me it found "12 Tricks Trojan [Tricks] File is compressed with LZEXE and is infected internally" What is the 12 Tricks Trojan and how does it work? How do I get rid of it? The funny thing is the Trojan is contained in one of McAfee's products called VIRUCIDE V1.2 from Parsons Technology INC. Glenn J. Andrews [Ed. I checked with John McAfee on this, who said that SCAN is identifying the signature data used by VIRUCIDE as the 12 Tricks Trojan - hence VIRUCIDE apparently does not contain the 12 Tricks Trojan. Version 1.4 of VIRUCIDE fixes this problem. Also, VIRUCIDE is not one of Mr. McAfee's product, but it does contain the same signatures used by Mr. McAfee.]
