IRC Virusses and Trojans -Aron - Dec 19 10:43am

Lately, there have been several reports of new IRC trojans, exploits and virusses.

These trojans seem to spread themselfs by links with a .JPG file, most of the times.

PLEASE do NOT click any links you are not sure of what it is.

Also, do NOT click ANY links on these webpages:


http://kate.krashed.xx/
http://www.8ung.xx
http://misq.antrea.xx


Report ANYONE who sends you something suspicious, including links to a staff or council member.

What do to if someone sent you a link like this?

1. DO NOT CLICK IT.
2. Type /whois , and write down the info you see.
3. Report it.

Here is a page with info on the virus on the Antrea website:

http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/backdoor.sdbot.html

Info on the kate.krashed:

http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.welchia.worm.html

If you clicked a link from this site, get the removal tool here (Thanks to Orion for reporting this).



Please read that for more information. I'm not sure if the other link is the same trojan, but as i said, PLEASE dont click any links.

For more information, you can also take a look at this thread.

Thank you :)

-Aron

I must not fear . Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear . I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

No, really. The guy at the drug store said that Trojans prevent the spread of virii.

No, Trojans are just a malicious program, designed to either annoy you, or damage files. Note, they are not virii!!

I thought that Trojans were supposed to protect one from viruses.
