Which anti virus covers this one?
It went through my programs like a buzzsaw!! :angry:


And yeah, yeah, I did a "google" So if ya don't know: Oh well :nuke:
It is written in borland C++, So I know it was malicious intent :ph34r:
Stay away from anything named: "Windowblinds" ;)

Norton didnt pick it up did you have you definitions up to date?

[fallenknight308]

Well, like a dumbass I did not have norton running at the time I was infected.
But norton does not have a listing for this one, even with updated definitions.
I went to norton's site, and couldn't find it there either :rolleyes:
Does anybody know anything about "Heuristic" (I think its spelled) Viruses?
Its "win32 parite" and its written in borland C++. It uses a "dropper"
Thats all I know.
I downloaded a program called Windowblinds, attempted to open it (*slaps own face*) and nothing happened, then later:
Oh shit! :angry:
Anyway, I had to dump my OS and start all over again :ph34r:

"Lessons are learned best the hard way!"

This is the first time I have ever had a run-in with a virus, and it happened to be one of the worst out there!

(UPDATE)

Ok, McAfee covers it)

where did you download it from and what was the file size/name? It could help someone else.
Window blinds is a pretty common and popular program. I'm sure not all copies are bad.
I got it here at k-lite, it was simply named: "windowblinds"
I don't recall the size, somewhere between 1400 and 1500 kbs?
Just be carefull! :(
