This is abouta trojan that i got in something but not in Plus! but thought i better put it anyway. On www.mess.be is a program called CE/DP STEALER. I used  it for abput a year and then one day my virus scnaneer (norton) popped up and said it was a trojan. 1) Why did it take a year to find? 2) It never did anything to my system. Still i removed it. Just thought many people may download this so I should put it up.

the details are on mess.be about that program and why it think it is a trojan

[edit]
"We did however get a lot of reports lately regarding CE/DP Stealer. Norton Antivirus (and ONLY Norton) has classified this addon as a Trojan Horse, so if you have NAV installed it will trigger a virus alert. But we do have all reason to believe this is not the case. Sherv, the programmer himself, assured us: "There is 200% no trojan in CE/DP Stealer 1.4.5, there is no msbb.exe or any DLL by that name, there is no adware, absolutely NOTHING but the program".

Maybe it was just the unluckily chosen name which reminded Norton of the dreadful password "stealers" for MSN Messenger. Maybe it exploits our privacy by stealing images from everyone (and their contracts) using the same PC for chatting. Maybe it reads cached user information Microsoft doesn't want to be found. Maybe it violates copyright laws by stealing a display picture "artistically created" by an individual. These are all speculations, but after the investigation I decided to re-enabled the download again. Just don't freak out when your get a virus alert on Norton ;)" (from mess.be)
