Resolution: Those c:\\ *.RAR files: Klez

Started poking around the Windows partition from Linux. Whole mess of pretty randomly named files under c:\\Program Files, either 10240 or 19270 bytes in size. Got suspicious and ran a Klez disinfectant. 18,388 files scanned, 534 deleted, 165 repaired (most of which I'll delete by hand anyhow). Major case of the Klez. Makes me wonder what else is on here.

They can be handy if Win98 starts to act up - (scoenye) - Dec. 20, 2002, 01:19:59 PM EST

Not recommended, they make P&P less of an irritant - (hnick) - (1) - Dec. 21, 2002, 09:28:38 AM EST
