I Downloaded a SKYPE Plug-In yesterday which is a Call Rercoder which Iuse
for my business and it operates brilliantly BUT on doing a File Scan on
BULLGUARD Ver 6.1 a Trojan called: Trojan.Hacktool.Prockill.A was found.

BULLGUARD recommend uninstallation of the Program but having paid $24.95 for
this over the NET I am reluctant to Un Install.

Is there any kind soul out there that could point me in the direction of an
App that will kill this Bloddy thing off..Please

Sym

Did you upload the suspicious file(s) to Virus Total as I suggested on
alt.comp.freeware? What were the results?

BullGuard is an OEM of BitDefender.

Hacktool.Prockill is basically a Procedure Killing utility.

So what is this SKYPE Plug-In "Call Rercoder" ?
Have you subitted smaples to Virus Total ?

If not... please submit a sample to Virus Total --
http://www.virustotal.com/flash/index_en.html
The submission will then be tested against many different AV vendor's scanners.
That will give you an idea what it is and who recognizes it. In addition,
unless told
otherwise, Virus Total will provide the sample to all participating vendors.

You can also submit a suspect, one at a time, via the following email URL...
mailto:scan@virustotal.com?subject=SCAN

When you get the report, please post back the exact results.

I would like to thank you all for your helpful advice.
I did submit the suspect file to the links that you suggested and sure
enough one or two out of the many files in their Databases DID recognise the
exact virus reported in BULLGUARD.
I also reported these findings from BULLGUARD directly to the Vendor who
replied with a rather short and dismissive Mail advising me to get rid of my
Anti Virus Software immediately.
The problem as BULLGUARD reported lurked in the Uninstal.exe component of
the App which I Deleted using 'SAFE MODE' and then Re Boooted.
The Trojan was then identifed to be in the System Files area. I closed the
RESTORE featue in XP, cleared everything out using BE CLEAN, Re Scanned and
at last the Preditor was Deleted
Fortunately, the App still functions ok and if a complete Un Install is
needed at any time the ADD/REMOVE Pro will do the job.

According to my reseach into this nasty lttle Bastard:
"Trojan.Hacktool.Prockill.A" can be quite destructive

Thanks again for your Help,

Sym

I again want to stress that Prockill.A kis NOT a virus it is a utilitity in the
calss of
"potentially unwanted programs" becuase in itself it is not malicious but it may
be used
maliciosly.

I also stated "please post back the exact results." when I mentioned
sun\bmitting to Virus
Total. I did NOT see that Virus Total report in your reply.
