 Spyware/Trojan fiasko For the records... recent spyware bundler did deliver a new trojan/spyware (DLDER) together with their clients. Those have been our old and well known spyware friends: - Bearshare (Gnutella clone) - LimeWire (Gnutella clone) - Kazaa (FastTrack clone) - Grokster (FastTrack clone) If you did recently use one of those client, make sure you use a _new_ anti virus (TrendMicro) or anti spyware tool (AdAware) today! You won't see any warning on the webpages of those vendors, but the existance was proofen on many webpages: http://wired.com/news/privacy/0,1848,49430,00.html http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1005-200-8335745.html http://www.cnn.com/2002/TECH/intern...y.ap/index.html http://www.zeropaid.com/news/article.../01012002a.php http://www.bearshare.net/forum/showt...&threadid=8252 http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...&threadid=6423 http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...&threadid=6781 It seems those vendors do not have controll over their spyware, sorry boys, but isn't it true? The new trojan/spyware was allways installed without asking the user (non optional), the vendors rated this piece of software 'Adware'. If you don't like Spyware - don't use it. Choose a spyware free gnutella client! PS: LimeWire finally issued an official statement: http://www.limewire.com/index.jsp/trojan Last edited by Moak; January 6th, 2002 at 12:35 AM.  |
