Trojan Horse

My comp is infected by a trojan. So now it will auotmatically, without me knowing, send a folder to everyone on my msn contact list.

A freaking trojan works using the same principle as a trojan horse. It will disguise itself as something harmless, like a picture file, to tempt people into downloading it. Pretty smart tactic.

If you receive anything like that, do not download it. If you already have, here are some mitigation measures i have thought up:
1. file the trojan file or folder and delete it manually. then empty your recycle bin.
2. immediately run a check using your anti-virus software.
3. using a cd or thumbdrive, backup all your important files on your comp.
4. if possible, you may want to reformat your entire drive.

I suspect that this trojan will not harm your comp too much. it just wants to spam everyone and irritate people.

I am so sorry if i had infected anyone with this trojan. i too, was infected with this unknowingly by my neighbour jonny, via msn.

This world is full of geniuses. Like the creator of this trojan, who has nothing else better to do. Thats why MIT needs to have an ethic and moral and civics course. Immoral geniuses are worse than saddistic retards.
