Malware - fxstellar.exe

hi

not sure how to post on other threads and the like

my norton just picked up a virus that iv never heard of before

typically i googled it and could not find it either which is suprising

to cut it short, id assume that this is not a new virus even tho i cannot find

any details on the norton site or anywhere on the web

it was called "fxstellar.exe"

it was detected by SONAR

so im thankful as it installed  4 files,

1 registry entry, 1 file, 1 process, and 1 browser cache.

so i am assuming this is a variation of a trojan designed to replicate itself through contacts on a host computer then remove personal information to an external storage place.

i received it from a friend through msn as a link. the person had not been on previously for a couple of days

hence the self replication. Norton applied a red high risk under all areas,  performance, privacy, removal, and stealth.

I realise i am totally wrong and probably have just written a load of **bleep**. but if not or any one would like to give me some more information regarding this virus, or correct me, email me at as i havnt worked out how to work this norton forum thing (lol n00b)

cheers, jordan
