Re: Another new worm???

Actully not to say everyone is wrong but about 5 years ago when i used to
hang out on aol, we made these things called password stealers or pws and
they can come in the extentions .shs .exe .txt .zip what they do basically
if you cant figure it out is steal your password or log it everytime you
sign on to aol and send it to the makers e-mail address. They are simple to
get rid of, at least they were im nto sure about now. Most just add a line
to your win.ini in the run line you will see the path of the trojan you can
delete that and then go and delete the trojan. I may be wrong but thats all
this sounds like but i could be wrong :o).
Have fun,
Frank
