Win32/FakeIA.D missed by NIS2008 but Windows Defender found & removed

January 18, 2009

 

After I run a NIS2008 Full System Scan, I run a full system scan with Windows Defender.

 

My NIS2008 and Window Defender are always up to date.

 

However, for the first time, Windows Defender found (and removed) a virus that NIS2008 missed, as shown below.

 

????

 

•  Is Win32/FakeIA.D a new virus? Symantec's on-line virus encylopedia doesn't list it and google search has       nothing on it.

 

•  Has anyone else come across this? 

 

•  How come NIS2008 didn’t pick it up?
