TSGL: Trojan Horse

[H Davis]

Cyndi,

I have to agree with Don here. If there's no other suspicious activity, 
I wouldn't rush to delete anything. If you do decide to delete 
something, just rename it so you can put it back if necessary.

If this is a real virus you will find something about it by Googling or 
on the AV vendor sites mentioned. However, they may know it by another 
name so look for similar names.

Good luck
