Virus Infection In Bots (Bots)
Virus Infection In Bots // Botsthe derekFeb 16, 2001, 5:18am
recently i doscovered a virus called funlove on my
computer it attaches itself to other exes (in this case almost all of my bots) when run it installs a startup exe for the bot (C:/windows/flcss.exe)-if you have this file your computer is infected it randomly searches for files to attach to (.exe and .ocx) and will eventually cause the system to render unstable i have not been able to clean it from my computer because the virus has attached to my virus scanner and caused several files to be corrupt. thus i cannot run uninstall or re-install mcaffe. tomarow im going to get norton and see what happens if you have downloaded/accpeted a bot/exe/ocx from me or the flcss file is in your computer you are infected. this virus gets in all writable drives including floppies. the longer its in your system to harder it is to get rid of. i have closed the bot portion of my site and will be postng alerts on bots eqquiped with the auto upgrade function until this virus is cleaned i will not be making/distributing bots or any other files. the derekFeb 16, 2001, 5:20am

common orgion is newsgroups. there was one post in one of these newsgroups that is starting to concern me... i dont remember where and im still looking for it but it was a post with a file disguised as a sound file with an unknown extension... hope aw looks into it [View Quote] > recently i doscovered a virus called funlove on my > computer > it attaches itself to other exes (in this case > almost all of my bots) > when run it installs a startup exe for the bot > (C:/windows/flcss.exe)-if you have this file your > computer is infected > it randomly searches for files to attach to (.exe > and .ocx) and will eventually cause the system to > render unstable > i have not been able to clean it from my computer > because the virus has attached to my virus scanner > and caused several files to be corrupt. thus i > cannot run uninstall or re-install mcaffe. > tomarow im going to get norton and see what > happens > if you have downloaded/accpeted a bot/exe/ocx from > me or the flcss file is in your computer you are > infected. this virus gets in all writable drives > including floppies. the longer its in your system > to harder it is to get rid of. > i have closed the bot portion of my site and will > be postng alerts on bots eqquiped with the auto > upgrade function > until this virus is cleaned i will not be > making/distributing bots or any other files. |
