Trojan found by Symantec antivirus?

From: "Richard F" <richienv.RemoveThis@yahoo.com>

| I get a popup window from my symantec antivirus saying a
| trojan was found in regscan.exe in windows\system32. I looked at the
| programs properties. It was an ms-dos file with a PIF tab that showed
| commands to start it up autoexe,bat. It did not show a version such as
| Microsoft. It was about 200k in size. Symantec could not quarantine it
| and I could not delete it because it was running. I found it in
| windows task manager under running processes and shut it down. Then I
| deleted it. There was only a ms-dos short cut to the program in the
| recycle bin. Back in the system32 folder was a program caleed
| regscan.exe.new, and I deleted that. After rebooting it was not back
| in sysmtem32. Anyone know what it was and where it came from?

Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe

To use this utility, perform the following...
Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your
FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files.

C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal Mode.
This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor's web site.
The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and Reboot the PC.

You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you can
download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded the files
needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode [F8 key
during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run in Safe
Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode.

When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive PDF help
file. http://www.ik-cs.com/multi-av.htm
