Virus/Spyware alert I just got hit for the first time on P2P!
Thought I'd pass along the learning:
1.) ID: The virus is w32.fontra. According to Symantec, " ... Fontra is a virus that infects executable files located in peer-to-peer shared folders. ..."
2.) Method: It was attached to a zip file. I did not even open it. I downloaded a .mp3.zip - that looked suspiciously small. As soon as the download completed, it went off.
3.) Excorcism: Most good antivirus/antispyware programs will detect - but they may not all delete or quarentine.
I've run a full system Norton scan and apparently have taken care of it.
Be careful out there. |
