Hi,
I spent 12 hours yesterday trying to get the 'Downloader.Trojan' off my computer. [Symantec's most recent update for this is June 2002!]
I looked in all the forums, did all the usual 'update your virus definitions' in Norton Antivirus, multiple scans in safe mode, downloaded four 'spyware' softwares, and none of it worked!
The only thing I managed to get to work was the 'Trojan Eliminator'! Go to this URL and download it FR~EE for 30 days. (Though I'd bookmark it too, 'cos if you get another Trojan it will save you trying to find it again!

How do I get rid of this Virus?

Your "up to date" antivirus will remove it.

just run a antivirus scan.
Found a reference worth looking into: bandofgonzos.com
The spyware program 'PestPatrol' will remove it.
I think that some more info is needed like what operating system you use, have you tried to do it from a bootscan, what virus detection system do you have before this can be answered.
I had this virus and Panda online scanner removed it! pandasoftware.com
