Ever come across trojan.KillApp.30208?

penrhyn

Ewido has just cleaned this of my PC.
Had a Google but can't find out what it specifically is or does, has anyone come across it before?
It really academic I suppose but i'd like to know.
Cheers

It seems to be a process killer

'This trojan can terminate processes in Windows. It can be used by malicious programs to terminate tasks of anti-virus and security software.'

It doesn't really cause any damage but can be used to disble antivirus software so other viruses can get in.

Didn't find anything specifically for that version though (30208) ?

Bit of info here

Description:

TROJ_KILLAPPL.A is a Trojan horse program, a malware that has no capability to spread into other systems. Trojans are usually downloaded from the Internet and installed by unsuspecting users.

Trojans typically carry payloads or other malicious actions that can range from the mildly annoying to the irreparably destructive. They may also modify system settings to automatically start. Restoring affected systems may require procedures other than scanning with an antivirus program.
