For obvious reasons I don't want to use Google so I am asking the community what is this generic name Trojan Agent?

It is the only "bug" that has been picked up in Mbam in 2 years of internet usage.It was found in my limited user account and as I don't use that account to much wondered how it got there....I have been using that account to run/try out Opera and a few other well known programs.

The only thing I can think of that happened in the same time frame was a warning from Norton about a possibly dodgy site news site.Which the URL  was sent for analysis ,First time that has ever happened. But I am sure I was on the other (main)account when that happened.

Any thoughts would be appreciated...I did scan etc and Mbam removed it.I have the file path etc where it was located.I mainly want to know what trojan agent means so that is why I put the post here in tech outpost.

I think in Malwarebytes (Trojan.Agent) is a generic detection for something that does not have a specific name, like when Norton detects something just as "Trojan Horse"  could be lots of files.

Thanks Quads

It has not turned up again so happy with that.

Another reason could be that at times say 2 different Rogues (or other Malware) use the registry entry, it's generically classified, as it can belong to this, that, and the other ....................
