Hi, I was wondering if it's normal that my trojan scanner by mooware cannot scan scan my pagefile.sys file in the c: directory. At the end of the scan there is an error log created claiming that there was a problem and it was not able to scan it. Im running w2k pro, and i know pagefile.sys is required in NT filestructure, but I wasnt sure about it in win2k,.

Thanks
 
Yes, this is normal since the file is locked by the OS. Chances of a trojan being found in PAGEFILE.SYS is remote.
