Microsoft Internet Security BEWARE
« on: July 03, 2012, 10:11:06 PM »
I just started up one of my XP machines. I got online and suddenly had a scan going saying I had a bunch of malware and stuff. I don't have Microsoft Internet Security.

I started up Microsoft Security Essentials and it quickly found a file it didn't recognize. It may be a brand new trojan to help us enjoy our celebration of the fourth.

Keep an eye out for it.

Yes, that's the technical term for it.

A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.
Is defenestration possible through the overton window?

I've had to pull that pest off of several systems over the years.  Usually MalwareBytes will find and kill it in short order.

Watch-out using combofix.

That prog almost bricked my home computer. Took me two days to resuscitate.

Malwarebytes took care of it. I left it running on that machine and didn't recheck it till yesterday.
