Threatfire picked up the connection attempt and said it was suspicious activity so it asked if I would like to quarantine the file which I did. I suspect any Host based Intrusion prevention system (hips) would pick this activity up. Hips are included in a lot of good firewalls. Unfortunately if this was a real trojan it would look completely harmless and you wouldn't have known a thing...

NOD32 didn't even notice. I'm not even sure what prevented the file attacks I have UAC enabled but no UAC requests came up. The demo file attacks failed but it did spy my files and post them.
