Killjoy Trojan Deletes Warez And Smut
Be very careful about this one :!: Virus writers have created a Trojan that deletes illicit files from compromised Windows PCs in addition to harvesting data from infected machines. Erazer-A is spreading (albeit modestly) across P2P networks, where it poses as useful program files, or through chat programs. If executed, the malware scours folders used for P2P apps for AVI, MP3, MPEG, WMV, GIF, ZIP and other files. It then erases any porn, warez, music or any other matching file type found in P2P directories before dropping copies of itself (using names such as game.exe, goporn.exe, nero7.exe and officexpcrack.exe) in the shared folders of peer-to-peer (P2P) applications.

This article is old dude. Published Wednesday 17th May 2006 11:57 GMT But thanks for the info :wink:

Maybe later than sorrow, don't you think? Do you know about it?

Yup, I've heared about it before! But, yes, Later is - for sure - better than sorrow :wink:

Thanks for the heads up; I didn't know about this one! :?

i've encountered a virus like this one a while back, but the one i found was made to delete only a specific type of music, but i had no problems, it was detected by the antivirus protection program. Hope this one is also detectable.

Check in the detection list of your Anti-virus if he detectes the Erazer-A.

thx man!

Is it probable I downloaded this trojan with limewire?
