Trojan Delf.anx

Has anyone ever heard of this Trojan Delf.anx? Is this a false trojan or a legitimate one? I don't need help removing it as I don't have it on my computer. I'm just trying to gather some information about it. Google is pretty much useless when it comes to this particular title. Anyone know anything about it? I did at one point have it on my computer (it was the only thing found on my system), but the online ewido scanner removed it. But it did slow down my computer immensely until I did remove it. So was this legitimate? My computer is super fast now that ewido removed it. People are telling me it's a false positive, but I want to know the truth. Mainly because after I had removed it my computer came back to life. There's simply no explanation I can come up with for why my computer was slow with this particular Trojan and once removed it's speedy again. That doesn't make sense if it's a false positive.

 

So you're saying it is legitimate?

Yes, but the Ewido online scanner is still on the Ewido site. It does now say they are a member of the AVG group. And so far that online scanner was the only thing to pick it up. I'm not sure why, but other scanners haven't caught it.

I'd rather not go into too much detail since I brought it on myself anyway, but it was attached to a program that helps you with a gaming site. Regardless, once I removed this .exe file. My computer was like it was brand new. Didn't have any memory problems or anything. Online browsing became faster and doing things on the computer such as opening programs stopped becoming a hassle. Thing is these people whom I got the file from are saying that AVG is giving me a false positive and that AVG is a crappy scanner. I tried to explain to them about the speed of my computer when the file was on my system and how it reacted once I had that online scanner remove it. But they still insist it's false and even got to the point of saying that I had no idea what I was talking about. I had tried for months to figure out what had made my computer slow and when Ewido brought that up. I removed it immediately and right then noticed that my computer wasn't slower then a dead snail.

 

The original source of why my computer was slow for months was because of an Auto Loader (Version 1.5.9). This one was on my drive for the longest time and I had the exe file as a backup. It's no wonder I couldn't find what was slowing it down. None of the spyware/virus programs would detect it. Whether it was a true trojan or not when I removed it from my computer, it wasn't slow anymore. At that point, the program wasn't even installed. I'm talking about just the exe file sitting in a folder somewhere on my drive. The exe is the installer to install the program. When the Ewido scanner brought it up as a Trojan I deleted it immediately and my problem was resolved. However, that when it detected it it was also in two system restore files, which I cleaned and turned off system restore to remove them. That's how long it had been on my computer! Just sitting there. But I don't understand how an exe file that I didn't open was causing trouble like that. I swear the minute Ewido detected it and I removed it. It was like my computer became alive again. I had a hard time doing anything on it and even installed Windows a few times because no virus programs said I had a problem. Yet, my computer was still slow while that file was on the drive. That's what I don't understand.
