Unwanted torrents

Written by Ernesto on December 21, 2005 

A group of “hackers” is auto-installing BitTorrent on pc’s infected with the Lockx.exe Rootkit. They use this to “infect” those pc’s with horrible disney cartoons and mr. Bean movies. Inconvenient, but not really dangerous… however, you can easily imagine how they can use this to spread more evil things.

One positive thing about it for all the pirates out there. If the MPAA / RIAA are suing you, just respond with: I’m not guilty, those damn hackers infected my pc again!
