Trojan Deletes Your Porn, Music & Warez

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the someone-else-to-think-for-you dept.

E. Vigilant writes "The new Trojan/Erazor-A has an interesting twist. In addition to deleting or disabling various security products and competing malware, it deletes any porn, warez and music in your P2P directories. While some opine that this trojan might have good intentions, remarkably few things infect the text files this trojan also deletes. No one yet knows who wrote this or why."

    I think the Linux users just jerk off to the penguin.

    Anybody who still uses P2P software at this point deserves to have their upload / download directories cleaned out.

    The trojan probably does you a favor by deleting all the rest of the virii that you probably have in those directories as a condition of being dumb and using P2P.

    Long live the usenet!

    Gosh, I have plenty of MP3, AVI, MPEG, WMV, Gif, Zip graphic and video files ... that aren't porn, illegal music & warez.

    Cor... Now I don't feel so anachronistic for storing all my porn pics in PICT and PCX.

    P.S., If anyone wants some red hot VISCII art, PM me.
