I keep all my Loaders on a USB stick . Today i inserted it to my PC which alerted me to a Virus contained in every combined ufl loader . The Virus is named win32:virtob which seems to be serious enough this is what i found out about it. Win32.Virtob.{2,3,4}.Gen ( Generic.Virtob.1, Win32.Virut, W32/Virut, Virus.Win32.Virut, Virus:Win32/Virut, W32.Virut, W32/Vetor ) Spreading: medium Damage: medium Size: 7 - 10 KB Discovered: 2007 Mar 29 SYMPTOMS: * Executable files' sizes increase with 7-10 KB, depending on version; unfortunately, there are versions that infect a single file more times. * DNS queries to some IRC servers, and continuous TCP connection attempts to them (on destination port 65520 or 80).
This could be isolated to myself as a the downloader for the digivox on the same stick is infected. I have checked other copies of the combined loader and they appear ok so i assume my usb has been infected someway
This was isolated to me , the PC i used was infected also. Well goes to show even its an old PC use an antivirus...
