I didnt go thru the whole article, but it was odd, it was produced in a blog of this type. A programmer sent it to me. He doesn't normally send jokes or much else.

So Parker, from a software angle, is there anything to this article?

Here's what I sent LB in PM, OK?

(Excessive use of two letter acronyms in a single sentence!!!!!!!!!!!!)

It's just a real nasty root-kit...that people get the same way they get all the normal crap.....by downloading drive by downloads, fake keygens, fake game downloads, surfing for goat porn, etc.

The only real "issues" with this trojan is that it's basically impossible for a user to clean it up.

If one were to get it, one would nuke their PC from orbit and re-install Windows from scratch.

We do that any ways as protocol, so it's "just another trojan" for us.....one of many thousands out there.

The hackers/punks are just getting smarter and the software they produce is just getting nastier. Nothing new.

Stuff like those rootkits happen all day, every day, etc.

What a *good* post would have been is to educated the PP user base on how NOT got get a trojan in the first place. IE, best internet practices, stop downloading random stuff on the web, stop trusting what you see or get, etc.

Oh, and always go to someplace like Sophos if you want the true skinny on a virus or trojan...not some dude's blog...even if it was correct.

I heard that android devices use a lot of Java base programs and may be more susceptible to infection from this type of trojan.....true? or false?
Any preference on virus protection for androids?
