Um, er, the programs you mention are NOT trojan scanners, they're virus
scanners.
 
So McAfee is a virus scanner and it found the "BackDoor-CKA" Trojan.

Maybe because it was an EXE hiding in a WRI file embedded in a ZIP file that the others
couldn't find it.

Virus Total result...

This is the report of the scanning done over "sister_trish.wri" file that VirusTotal
processed on 12/19/2004 at 04:27:43.

All five products are known to have detected trojans in the past.
To claim foul has always been a convenient excuse for failure.


The trojan detector a-squared missed it too.


KAV Rules!
 
Why buy a program that only detects viruses. Why not both and even more
malware like KAV does. NOD32 web site says it can detect and remove Trojans
on there web site.
http://www.nod32.com/products/nt.htm I have used NOD32 but it missed a
couple of Trojans that KAV caught. KAV slows your computer more than NOD32
does but that's what a good Antivirus does.
http://kaspersky-esac.org/index.php?PageID=9 One thing I like about KAV is
that it updates its data base every hour. They work around the clock with
getting updates out for all types of malware.
 
I forgot to post this for reading.

Virus detection is a computationally intensive mathematical problem
requiring structural analysis, checksum calculation and mathematical data
conversions. Processor time is therefore the main resource consumed by the
Anti-Virus, and each new virus added to the anti-virus database increases
the overall scanning time.

Other anti-virus products speed up scanning by excluding from their
databases both viruses which are less easily detectable or less frequent in
the geographic location of the anti-virus vendor, and file formats that
require complicated analysis (e.g., PDF).

Kaspersky Lab believes that the purpose of anti-virus protection is to
establish real and complete anti-virus security for its users.

Experienced users can, of course, accelerate anti-virus scanning by
disabling scanning of various file types. However, please keep in mind that
it will decrease the overall security level.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus recognizes more than 700 formats of archived and packed
files. This is essential for anti-virus security because harmful executable
code may be hidden inside files of any recognized format. However, despite
the daily growth in the number of viruses detected by Kaspersky Anti-Virus
(approximately 30 new viruses appear daily) as well as the ever increasing
number of recognized file formats, this new version of our product functions
faster than previous ones. That is achieved through the use of new unique
technologies, such as iChecker™ and iStreams™, developed at Kaspersky Lab.

I dislike the use of ADS in KAV. I wish they would just use there own
database rather than attach shit to all of my files.
