Viruses found need some information

I was running a panda scan and it found 2 viruses and got rid of it. I tried to find information about the viruses and did not find any info..I have the names of the viruses as follows..Trj/P2E.A C:\windows\sys32\EGAUTH.dll and Trj/P2E.A C:\windows\system32\p2esocks_1014.dll....If someone can tell me what these viruses mean I would appreciate it. Thank you

Hello,

Another good site is mcafee.com I have found that one of these two places have information on the viruses, and how to kill them. In my opinion, they take turns on being the more "informed" on what the infection is doing.

Also, these bits are more likely to be spyware, more so than a virus. AV software tends to label some spyware as trojans. In addition to the previous suggestions, I suggest checking out some of the spyware resources at the top of this forum.
