Trojan.JS.Clid.gen

This is a generic detection entry for a Trojan horse that comes in the form of an .html file, which could be sent to you by email. The detection is to identify three commonly used class id values which Trojan scripts have been known to use in order to gain access to the file system.

Many times, these Trojans modify your Web browser's home page and restrict your access to your system in some minor way, typically by preventing you from gaining access to your browsers internet settings.
