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."

    The mantra spouted on this site is that piracy isn't stealing as they haven't lost anything. Well, technically no CDs or DVDs are destroyed by this virus so you haven't lost anything either, and can't complain!

    Simply copy the files back onto the computer from your legally-acquired CDs and DVDs.

    Actually, the police doing that wouldn't surprise me at all. They'd be assholes to do it, but nowadays it wouldn't be a surprise.
