My son so kindly downloaded a file that was infected with this thing and I'll tell you what, It's a real pain in the butt to clean up! Anyone who should become infected has their work cut out for them!

Try these informative sites:
Sub 7 Trojan Information
Nastier version of backdoor tool released
If worst came to worst you can find cleaning instruction on Mobman's site although going through the source may not be very safe

Thanks for the additional links Scoot!
The thing is one S.O.B. to remove. It's possible, but very time consuming and frustrating, to say the least. I keep telling my boys to scan EVERY file they download before opening and they just trust everybody out on the web. Makes me mad.
Anyway, we are back in business and I caught it before it had a chance to let any info out (I hope). It's disgusting to have to check everything, but about the time you don't, your one sorry individual anymore!
