Another spam trojan...

[The_Unbeliever]

Internet miscreants have created a spam-sending Trojan that comes fitted with an anti-virus scanner. The SpamThru Trojan attempts to reserve control of compromised machines by blocking infection by other forms of malware using a pirated copy of a commercial anti-virus scanner.

More problems... *sigh*

i must say thats pretty impressive.. at least you know that once you get that off a system all the other nasty stuff has been cleaned out already.

Does anyone who plays the stock market ever take notice of these pump & dump stock spam?

I just ignore that... you stand to lose money if you're not careful or quick enough...

But, like cleric says - at least the PC will be cleaned from the other junk...

Think this will become a trend, with each moronic id10t incorporating an AV engine to get rid of other moronic id10t's software...

LOL and I thought I heard of everything. A trojan getting rid of other trojans... classic! Someones out there trying to make the rivals mad

@ TIAL - not the first time it happened tho... but the stage is set for more intense fighting between the trojans...

Hope it goes that way, if they start to work together, we'll be having big problems...

/me wonders when the Jerry Springer Trojan is going to come out since there is always scrapping between the Trojans
