I figure with all this Virus crap going on, more then usual anyway, its about time i do a virus scan.
I use Panda Active Scan:
http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/com/activescan_principal.htmIts a free, web based, antivirus app that is updated daily, and for the first time it found something:
It was called bk/Optix.12, and details are here:
http://www.pandasoftware.com/virus_info/encyclopedia/overview.aspx?lst=vis&idvirus=37310Its basically a trojan that lets people take over your crap.
Its sets itself up to run everytime windows runs by adding itself to WIN.INI, SYSTEM.INI, and the Registry.
It creates two files called SPOOL32.EXE and WINAMPW.EXE. I always keep tabs of what is starting when i boot and i had disabled WINAMPW.EXE from starting but the SPOOL32.EXE must have been in there.
Pretty tricky, fockers...
