Typical norton lol...
and yes it should be safe to go on habbo - it's a trojan not a keylogger
lol trojans can contain keyloggers aswellQuote:

I personly think Avast is one of the best, picks up on things Nortans dosn't and its free. Not only that Nortans can slow your computer down more then a virus would. ;P
But if i was you, ill use Avast. :]
Depending on what it was that contained the trojan, e.g something labeled 'Throne Scripter' will tell you whether or not it is safe to log on to habbo. If it wasn't something to do with cheating on habbo or similar games it will be safe to log on as they won't be after habbo furni.
As someone vaguely described earlier, you want something that can do a boot scan, so before anything has a chance to load e.g, the trojan can load and hide its self the anti virus starts a scan and nails it. Avast! offers this feature, google it and download it. Point your browser to www.siteadvisor.com and download it. It tells you all about the website you are browsing, or on google it puts a tick, exclamation mark (warning) or cross next to each URL that shows up. You will see what I mean when you download it but it will keep you (most of the time) well informed about the website and whether or not you should download or even visit thesite. Users can regiser an account and comment on the website and can say what is good/bad and whether mcafee rated this site correctly. This is free btw ;).
Also missalice suggested trendmicro, use that it is an online scanner and most crimeware cannot detect it at work so it is quite successful. When you get the chance to buy a new AV/Internet security suite, go Kaspersky imo. Before you can buy a new set of software though I would immediately start using Avast! Over norton.
How do you know they won't be after habbo furni?Quote:

Someone sees a password and username and sees that they just visited habbo uk. What you think they are gonna do? They are gonna try to 'own' them as much as possible by going on all sites they visit which they got the password to.
Also most trojans contain keyloggers so its high possibilty that it does contain one.

@Yeski
Is there any chance you can post name of the trojan signature that got picked up?
there is a high chance it will just get ignored actually. You are just assuming the person planted the trojan in the file to own people. I stand by what I said. The nature of the file downloaded and what it claimed it could do will affect what details the person wanted. It may not contain a keylogger, it might be that the computer is being used in a zombie network, the person who spread the trojan could be after some kind of DoS or DDoS attack using his zombie network and not passwords at all. Or, he could be after both :PQuote:
