From: Lil' Abner on 11 Jun 2010 19:22 I downloaded 41.Yr.Virgin.Who.Knocked.Up.Sarah.Marshall;Felt.Superbad.LKRG136943.exe, knowing, of course That it would be infected with *something*. Microsoft Security Essentials liked it OK so I sent it to VirusTotal where it scored zilch (0/43). So I installed it on a throwaway copy of XP and actually had to kill the installation file with task manager. And that still left a random exe file running and eating up about 85% of the processor. So I killed that one too and then ran MalwareBytes on it. It found: Trojan.Backdoor.Gen (4) Trojan.Agent.Gen (5) Trojan.Agent (1) Bifrose.Trace (1) MalwareBytes cleaned it up fine with a reboot. IMO that saya quite a bit for MBAM and very little for 43 antivirus companies. At least it wasn't one of those rogue security apps that I usually get when I play this game... :-) -- --- Everybody has a right to my opinion. ---

The name of the file is a Socal Enginerering construct I am familiar weith and I doubt it came from a Warez site. That naming convention is typical of the type of files I find quite often in the Usenet binaries and I'll bet that is where it came from. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp

I really don't have a problem with viruses and malware since I spend most of my time cleaning up other peoples' computers. I may go back to Avira but I'm surely not going to pay for anything. I *do* download an obvious one once in a while. Even though I do scan it I still won't run it on my own machine even if it appears to be clean. That one I ran on another machine and sure enough, it was nasty. -- --- Everybody has a right to my opinion. ---
