I don't even run Party anymore, but I read the thread anyway because it sparked my curiousity.
I think 2-Tone's summary is spot on, so read it. Nice job. (Minor details about item 2 is that it appears Microsoft's program is simply doing a filename check to determine if that specific back door is installed. It appears that Party's software places a file with the same name in the same spot as that trojan. Total coincidence, but it still belies the ineptitude of the Party software team, at least in my opinion.) |

lot of these 'hackings' have been reported lately on fulltilt, where i can be found nowadays...
in most cases however, a dumbbell or two would click on an 'official-looking' popup window offering a huge cash bonus if only they input their login info, including their password.  well, u gotta be that stupid to be taken in by something like that. else, security-wise, ive had the following run on my PC and never had any problems whatsoever: zonealarm firewall and avast antivirus. both excellent and free of charge. and for extra support, popupcop, which among other things, helps prevent silent installation of malware, the most common way for trojans and worms to get to ur hard drive... |
