Partially correct. It's a worm.. Windows likes to share drives with no passwords. This worm just logs into those shares, and copies itself into like autoexec.bat. Next boot it infects your system. On a somewhat related note, since we obviously have AOL people living and they now own ICQ. irc.icq.com has been used for weeks for these kiddies to store various ddos clients on. Take a look at #0wned. All compromised machines. There are no live opers to deal with it, and emails to [email protected] go unanswered. Is there any way we can deal with things like this?
