I found an extreamly suspicious file on my computer

[leftyman]

mmm..porn 🙂

 

[Mickey Eye]

So... did you open it yet?

 

[brunswickite]

mount a VM and open it in there 😛

edit: disable the nic on the VM too.

Or you can enable the guest account, and log on as that. No system previledges, so there's no way the virus can install itself.

 

[imported_LoKe]

You actually trust Norton's judgement...?

If it's a self-extractable .exe, then you can rename it to .zip, and open it as a zip.

this has got to be the funniest reply yet, heh.

i'd open it. my important stuff is backed up nightly, i can deal w/ a couple of days of downtime. heh. or i'd just copy it to my work machine and do it here.. it can be reimaged in 20 minutes 🙂

Open it with WinRAR!

If it makes you feel any better, I used to find computers on the network with open shares and dump as much porn as I could find into those folders. Maybe someone did it to you!

 

[Syrch]

man you guys crack me up.

LOL. Best reply ever!

Personally, I'd open that file in a VMWare virtual machine was configured to ask me if I wanted to save the drive changes on shut down. Best of both worlds that way... You get to keep the pr0n if it's real, and not have to rebuild the system if it's just a trojan.

Oh, and make sure to share if you find anything really good 🙂

 

[cerebusPu]

its probably a self extracting exe. try opening it in winzip or winrar.

 

[DaShen]

Trojan... duh...

Just like eating green biscuits for breakfast. Would you do that too? 😛

Norton Antivirus says it's clean. Should I open it?
I honestly don't know how it got there, and don't know what it is. Here is the kicker, it's 225mb

I'd consider getting a different antivirus like kaspersky, which is IMO really good. Norton is an absolute POS. I had norton installed on a completely clean system with updates and all, but because I had a virus running around my network, the machine got infected anyways, norton got disabled by the virus and couldn't be reenabled agian... Norton was never able to detect the virus on any of the machines I had it installed in. I installed kaspersky, kaspersky found the virus and it has been eliminated from all the computers in the network now. Norton's Antivirus list is half that of kaspersky, it's like 70,000 for norton right? Well kaspersky's list is 150,000 viruses, so I'd check norton and see how much fewer it is than kaspersky.

So, can anyone corroborate that Kaspersky is good?

 

[FoBoT]

that is part of evilvirus.exe , norton AV is a fool to think that isn't a virus

the .exe is the decoy, you've already tripped the wire with the .zip. the enemy is already taking position on higher ground as you type.

This is exactly why Kinko's has rental machines...
