Sip Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 The email looks like a joke. But there is in fact such a trojan (Lsass.exe). Do you use IRC or mIRC? if so, you may have it. Here is info about the trojan. If you don't know much about how to deal with it, I highly recommend you find a good updated antivirus program. Either way, you should have an Antivirus program (like Norton antivirus) and keep it updated and check your PC often. But don't worry about that email too much if you never use IRC or didn't open any strange email attachments. If you know how to check your windows registry (by running "regedit"), then you should look in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Run to see if there is an "lsass" in there.

Sip Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 But as far as that email, just delete it and do not reply to it or ask for more info from the sender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sip Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 Probably not skittles. That is a normal file in windows so you would have it. The trojan would replace that file ... however, it is always a good idea to have a virus checker and use it often just to be sure ... especially if you use IRC, mIRC, Kazaa, other file sharing programs, download programs from the web, and open email attachments.

CheekY Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 (edited) i have those on the list but the size is different so it's not a virus right? JAVA.DLL MOO.DLL someone gave it to me years ago RESTART.EXE LSASS.EXE oh and if i don't accept anyf iles in mirc i can't get a virus, can i?

David Posted February 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 (edited) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Run @Sip Thanks for the recommendation and possibly for the aid. I do not use IRC or mIRC but KaZaa. Perhaps it lies to KaZaa. but how I am possible those "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE \Microsoft \Windows \ CurrentVersion \Run" follows? Thanks !
