You don't need to know assembler to catch a trojan!

Most of the anti-virus' allow y9ou to disable such nastiness as LLF,
Boot sectors, FATs and changes to exe/com files.

Not to mention that if it happened in a warez group there'd be alerts
all over the groups about that file and it's uploader.

So don't use that as an argument to stand on (unless you like
free-falliing). Beside's the version the guy uploaded was 1.00 anyway.
