Viruses, etc.
Moderator:Æron
There is a virus going around that hijacks an AIM user's profile and changes it to say "I can't believe I found [screen names]'s Picture here HAHAHA", with a link to a valid-sounding website (buddypicture.net, I think). Clicking on this link will bring the victim to a website where a Trojan Dropper (as identified by Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition Server) will be transferred to the system, and the website will attempt to install an IE add-on. If you see this link in someone's profile, DO NOT CLICK IT!<br><br>Just doing my patriotic duty as a career computer technician and Microsoft Certified Professional, perhaps with enough warning this will be stopped.
Ahh.. I knew this group was alright. This is yet another way we are united here. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br><br>"I just wish Microsoft would quit selling anchors with a mandatory web browser attached." - Locke, "<a href='http://www.ozyandmillie.org/1999/om19990914.html' target='_blank'>Is there no haven?</a>"
