Maybe if I get a chance I'll write a disinfecter. Doesn't look like it destroys your hard drive, just loads itself into the registry, "infects" mIRC's ini file, and mails itself out to everyone else. I can see how this would be annoying, and you'd have to remove the damn thing by hand, but doesn't seem like it would kill anything. It's pretty weak these days. People in the past would have to learn assembly language and how to append to an EXE or COM file, load into memory, bind interrupts to reinfect, etc. Now it's just some kid with a scripting language, or some gay trojan written in Visual Basic 6, that calls deltree or something. Sad. Truely sad. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
