It’s a mystery

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Going to be in full investigation mode today. One of the PC’s here at work, when visiting some website, got 3 different Symantec warnings about Trojan.Trunlow:

The virus warnings said “Access Denied”

But at the same time stamp, Symantec was shutdown, and some of the password stealer .exe’s listed on that page showed up in C:/WINNT/. On the other hand, none of the registry settings were made, and there’s no evidence that it tried to actually send out any information, that I’ve found yet. The IE patch was installed, so in theory, between that being patched and Symantec catching the VBS trojan, none of it should have been allowed to run, but it was.

I suppose it’s time to go ask some questions of the user. I’m sure that won’t provide any real answers. 🙂

    Some of you, obviously, noticed that little “ignore this” post last night. Here’s some of what I’m thinking on ESBN‘s. I think there may be a place where this can be useful.

    Ha, I got a comment about being up late on that last post. Turns out that I’m on a different time zone than my blog. *L* My blog is still running on Eastern time, but I’m currently in the Mountain Time zone, so while it said I made that post at 2:31AM, it was actually…

    A couple of new releases that I noticed today, first there’s Mozilla 1.2Beta, which I will probably not be trying out for a little while, at least, but I’m sure someone else already has it. Secondly there’s Mailwasher 2.0Beta, which features hotmail support. As I said when I first installed Mailwasher on my home PC,…

    I saw this post on Network World fusion about Skype and started following the links. It’s pretty interesting reading, especially Mark O’Neill’s post about using Skype behind a NAT firewall. I hadn’t really thought about the P2P aspects of Skype and how being behind a firewall that doesn’t allow incoming TCP or UDP connections could…
