yes. go to www.mcafeeb2b.com and go to the AVERT page. This is the
Anti-Virus Emergency Response Team.  There are tools there that allow you to
do some work on your own, and you can provide these files to AVERT for
analysis.

I would like to respond to this with my own question.
Is there an orginization that I could send a suspected
file to that could tell me whether or not it was
malicious? Will AV vendors give you such information?

Hi,

I have a suspect executable that I think may be a Trojan. A search on
the
.exe doesn't return any result with any virus vendor. Are there any
tools
that would allow me to execute the file in isolation and actually see
what's
going on. The file was already executed on two workstations and it
killed
Outlook in both cases. I know I can use tripwire and similar products
to see
what files it makes changes to but I don't want to risk killing outlook
again.

Thanks

Anthony Ruso
