From: vjp2.at on 9 Mar 2010 07:52 I just destroyed a USB fob because I found IRCBUTE/Taquito on it. I am trying to find out if it got there from a browser (likeliest suspect) or from opening PDF files. Can it just get there by using the file system? I believe I got it by downloading two zip files (my own files) using a browser at a public library. - = - Vasos Panagiotopoulos, Columbia'81+, Reagan, Mozart, Pindus, BioStrategist http://www.panix.com/~vjp2/vasos.htm http://www.facebook.com/vasjpan2 ---{Nothing herein constitutes advice.

It probably happened as soon as you plugged it into the library computer. There was no need to destroy the fob.

It loaded via an AutoRun worm. That's why you should disable AutoPlay/AutoRun on a PC where you use random-read/random-write media. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp

In what way was it broken that it required fixing? Or is this just a language thing? |
