Clam Antivirus scan of MS-WindowsXP system found two nasties:
Trojan.Scapur12
Virtool.Collector
Anybody know what these two viruses are and what they do? I can not find any
information on them using google or typing them in at McAffee site virus
search.

How can i figure out what virtool.collector does (how it might have harmed

You can look at startups sites that collect info on all sorts of progams
that would show up as running after boot in Windows. do a google on windows
startups. Castlecops.com has a nice collection.
