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

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!
