any one came across a trojan kxn ?

[jaycabs]

just curious if any one has came across this in the past as i have only once about a year ago when then i was using avg free edition and it was the most destuctive virus my computer has ever came across as it ruined 1100 files .

 

i know obviously no one wants to get it but just seems strange were there is so many common trojans that repeatedly pop up but the kxn was like a one off .

had a quick look at that and it doesnt say much but is it me or does it say as if it was made by kaspersky ? if it was then why would they be allowed to send out such a destructive virus ? or did i read that wrong ?

Notice the brackets around Kaspersky. Thats what Kaspersky calls it. You'll also see the brackets around Symantec and Mcafee and the name they call it.
