Hi!
Just a head up for you guys.
Please be carefull while downloading Data right now, there alot of Trojans around.
Most noticable are:
- IMG001.exe 3471 KB
- Photo.scr 1542 KB
- INFO.ZIP 3446 KB
- XXX.exe 16682 KB
Make your not to download/ run those files!
So long,
Bulbazour
I have also seen the following file in quite a few FTP directories
INFO.ZIP 3446 KB
In the zip file is
IMG001.scr
Information.vbe
I accidentally downloaded these files. Is there any danger if I didn't run any of them?
(from noob).
I think you should be safe, but if you have an antivirus program, it should have told you those files were suspicious.
If you don´t run any permanent antivirus, I suggest you find an online scanner, just for good measure :)
I also had experience with those files...
Avira Antivir free can help out!
You should always show file extensions ; if you don't know how to do it, have a look at the windows documentation.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hide-file-name-extensions#show-hide-file-name-extensions=windows-7
Or use another operating system. If, for example, you install a Linux in a virtual machine, you'll be totally safe from viruses and other nasty things, but it'll be a bit slower.
There´s a new type of threat. -A .RAR file with same name as the folder. Filesize is 435.543 byte
Do NOT open/extract. It contains an exe file, 3 doc files and an rtf file.
that's all right, but every picture or doc file can contain hide a trojan or virus file.
Use a good anti virus programm and firewall or better use a virtual machine for download. If the file is infected you can delete the virtual drive and use a new.
Just added XXX.exe, hope its obvious for everyone that its a Virus...
if you are using FTPZilla you can filter a list of files/trojans. view>filename filters. all filtered items will not show in ftp listings or get added to queue.
