Hello,

my virus scanner detected and quarantined a file containing a virus it
identified as "Hacktool.Win32.Fumn".

I did not find anything about a virus with that name, neither using Google
nor checking all Virus lists of practically all manufacturers of Antivirus
software.

Can anyone tell me what this mysterious "Hacktool" might be and what damage
it may cause ?

Thanks.

Regards
Gerhard

Probably similar to,

If it is, then it is a trojan and Spybot should be able to deal with
it.

It would have helped if you supplied the NAME of the AV package that identified the
infector.

If I had to guess...
