There is not much information about it, but at least better than nothing: http://www.sophos.com/security/analyses/trojproxyax.html I strongly advise to format the hard drive, along from your (clean) computer download SP2 and burn it onto a CD. You might be able to remove the antivirus on the infected comp by using an up-to-date antivirus, along with Hijack This, but there is a very high chance that particular trojans (hello agobot and phatbot) screwed the entire operating system, changed programs and so on to use other backdoors .... I doubt a virus scanner or any program can kill such a complex trojan. Backup anything important, if possible put it into a neutral environment, such as an old computer disconnected from the internet, scan/try to desinfect that stuff. Since you reinstall SP2 offline, there is much less risk in getting something while normally downloading the SP2 and all following updates via Windows Upate (which requires Internet Explorer ).

	That's about what I was thinking...it apparently took down my father's ex-company that he worked for about six months ago for two weeks. Sounds like a pain in the ass. ____________________
