Heads up..general Info

:spider:

:sad: Im not sure this is the right section. But where do u post about new threats? in order to help the spybot team aware?

there is a new trojan it seems, that causes and unwanted msg to be sent to your contact list.
Format: some msg, then sends u a zip file. example:

OMG! is this u? hahah I found your pic on the internet!!
UserX sends img(some number).zip


now it seems it numbers the zips staring from one based on your infection.
in some scanners other than spybot - one url always popped up, Xwww.photosharin.comX
ignore the X please..I just didnt want it to link there... ive never been and i dont want anyone else other than a professional to do so.
*Where do I go to have them (site, site owners) checked out? or who am I to report them to?
I chose u guys because u always have the lovely characteristic of Blocking harmful sites and I hope this helps.

Ive managed to clear a few computers of it for my friends but I dont know the EXACT culprit.. here are the ones so far.

troj.printspool - on machine 1 that infected the others that follow.

Machine 2
troj.muldrop.402
Trojan.MulDrop.9014,
MAchine 3
Trojan.MulDrop.420,
Trojan.Isbar.394,

Spybot detected and removed but it had kept coming back on machine 1.
I got it off by ruining the registry, and reinstalling windows,with the option leave files intact...that saved me from losing my files.

P.S. Spybot rulez!! :crowned: always wanted to say that to the team!! Keep up the good work!!:angel:

Hi there,

Thank you for the information, and for your kind words.

For future reference, if Spybot-S&D does not detect or remove an item, please zip or rar the file/s if you can find them, and send to: detections(AT)spybot.info (Replace AT with @)

photosharin infections are relatively new, however similar infections passed on via Messenger and Irc are not. :fear:

Cheers.
