windows update and found Trojan on my laptop - GoFuckYourself.com

d-null · 10-21-2009, 08:32 PM

hmm, I thought stuff like this was a thing of the past, so I was surprised when I installed the windows updates today on my xp laptop and it found and removed "Trojan:WinNT/Alureon.D" which supposedly can steal passwords etc....

no idea at all where I got the trojan... guess I need to change all my passwords now to be safe

Yes, be careful of those trojan viruses, d-null.

Can steal passwords? That's some crazy shiat.
