Our First Virus

Well,I was going through a few video sites over the net,searching for some Tutorials...I came across a particular site,that asked me to download some codec in order to view its contents,but before I could try to click ok,the so called "codec" itself was downloaded automatically and tried to execute.An awesome feature in Vista is the Administrator's confirmation message.So,when the executable tried to execute itself,Vista prompted me for confirmation.



Thank goodness,I wasn't a XP user,else,my day would have sucked.This had crashed my browser in the process,but lucky yet,the executable file was still there,but I guess my Anti-Virus packages didn't enjoy it much.Look below to see what I mean.


So..next time,if you see anything asking you for a codec,you must close it immediately....incase you're an XP user,you need to stay on caution and avoid such .

In this case,all the 3 anti-virus packages have seemed to perform well except Counterspy.I have sent the sample to the Counterspy Network through one of their passionate bloggers.
