Hi. Can't answer the question directly but most Antivirus software is quick
bad at finding trojans or backdoors. I would suggest you consider a package
like TDS3 from www.diamondcs.com.au which has a 30 day trial and scan with
that too. It's a capable package and runs well on 2k Advanced Server so
should be fine for checking your system. It is not safe to rely on AV alone.
