CHEERIO! Posts: 21,769 Group: French Member #6 Joined: December 13, 2007	Today I (illegally) downloaded a CD mount .nrg file for SW2007 (that engineering software). It works fine 'n all, cept that I need a registration key to install it. That's very expensive stuff, so I tryed to find a downloadable registration generator. After googling a bit, I found one and downloaded it. .Exe file...sound suspiscious? Îndeed, I (rather stupidly) ran the .exe program and it was a trojan horse. As it is, it isn't all that bad, after having looked at it a bit, it's actually amusing. It's nothing more than a little script or program that gives you a false warning (figure1). Then the average people-person goes "OMG OH NOEZ" and clicks that. I did ofc as well (not at first though). Figure1: Figure2: http://img1.imagilive.com/0908/Capturer28e.JPG Then you come to a certain web-page (figure2) that looks quite official 'n stuff (it's in fact a very big gif, if my estimations aren't wrong). You then get those little windows that tell you that you have viruses, and that you need to download the anti-virus that the page proposes to get rid of those viruses. On that page you can click anywhere, you always get a download window for another .exe file. It's a sly trap no doubt, and to confirm my suspicions, I invite you to see figure3. Figure3: http://img1.imagilive.com/0908/Capturer3.JPG During that time, I had my anti-virus scan the comp for shit. Indeed, it found 49 infections. The names are just plain give aways. Now the comp has removed them and it seems my comp is rather safe, except that for some reason the false alarm (figure1) is still there. I dont click it at all, but it's annoying. Know any good virus removers? Remember kids, dont do drugs, stay away from prostitutes, and watch what you clicky.

CHEERIO! Posts: 21,769 Group: French Member #6 Joined: December 13, 2007	No nub, the virus brings me to a page that's obviously not a real anti-vrius, just something worse. Btw, as I restarted my comp today, it came back. I forgot to delete the a.exe and shit. ^^ An annoying side-effect is having "QUALITY PORN' icon on your desktop....there's also "zoo porn".... <_<!

Those things are hard to take out. If you don't take those well, they can return. If you suspect a trojan, careful with info in the computer. If there's a keylogger they can easily steal your passwords.
