There is a new trojan circulating that deletes files that it suspects have been downloaded via P2P networks. The trojan unknowingly infects a user’s computer and begins deleting files.
The trojan, called Erazer-A, targets the default download directories used by numerous P2P programs. The trojan works by searching for the default download directories that download programs use, and deleting any file that is a .mp3, a .avi, .mpeg, .wmv, .gif, .zip, or any other graphics and video file that it can find in the folder. The trojan acts to prevent infections of malware on machine’s that it is installed on.
Funny post shawners!
I would create a virus that disables INTERNET explorer and installs firefox and makes it run by defualt as well as putting the google website as homepage. . And possibly deleteing any p2p network on their system and installing BIT TORRENT with a code that goes out to register on private networks.. As well as creating effective people in the internet realm.
Some “userz” SHOULD be deleted by a trojan.
Doctor Who cybermen: DELETE………DELETE……….DEEEEEEEEEELEEEEEEEEEEEETE!
nononono… i mean a virus that “attacks” peoples computers who are too computer illiterate to remove things like gator.
this is insane! next will be trojans that delete stuff we’ve purchased so we have to buy it again! after that? Trojans that delete the user!
Since when did malware come with an extention of: .mp3 .avi .mpeg or .wmv?
Wouldn’t malware be more like: .dll or .exe?
i personally dreamed of a simular virus but one that attacks malware
Hmmm…”The trojan acts to prevent infections of malware on machine’s that it is installed on” WOW I now want this Trojan so it’ll protect me! Not! I wonder if Antirus companies are gonna make a def. for this or just ingore it since alot of people don’t even pay for thier copies of AV anyway.
Probably created by the riaa mpaa or some lobby group
