    Kirk,
    
    A couple of questions, if you don't mind...

    When you say your "system caught it", are you
    referring to the A/V software?  I'm curious as to the
    specifics of this, as I've written several articles
    and papers regarding how to protect against this sort
    of thing by using the DACLs and SACLs available on the
    system itself, in addition to A/V products.

    What logs are you referring to?  EventLogs?  If so,
    what entries are you referring to?  Did you have
    auditing for Process Tracking enabled?
    
    I've never seen what you've described...a well-known
    trojan making it onto a system, passed all of the
    security measures you describe, as well as realtime
    A/V protection.  I'd be interested in hearing more
    about the situation.  Particularly, aside from the A/V
    software and HotFixes, what other security measures
    were circumvented?  Did you happen to run PULIST.EXE
    to determine the owner of the process?  Was the trojan
    listening on the default port?  
    
    Also, if you still have a copy of the .exe file, would
    you be willing to zip it up and send it to me?
    
    Thanks
