There is yet a dangerous new trojan virus going around, and this one steals your banking information.

And here's the biggest surprise: it works by exploiting bugs in Internet Explorer - SHOCKED!!   :rolleyes:

What bothers me most about all this is the following statement:

 
quote:
The file is not an image at all, but a file-dropper Trojan composed of a pair of Win32 executable programs compressed together using the Open Source executable compressor UPX.


Excuse me while I prepare for another one of Gates' personal vendettas.  To him, I have this to say: Open Source is NOT the enemy!  Arbitrary security is the larger problem!  In short: Open Source is the ALLY, the solution to the problem YOU CREATED, YOU TWIT!

heh. no, it's war now. we've got to be ready for whatever billy says. next thing you know, he'll stage a virus outbreak and frame it on Linux supporters.

what nobody really knows is that it's really a virus that gets people to go to my forums
