Brontoks
Lately, our computer lab is attacked by Brontoks (or brontox or well known as W32.rontobro). Somehow, our newest database of AVG still cannot detected this virus. We already tried to update it several times and the result is that some computer manages to detect the virus while some others can’t (even when they are using the very same database).
This somehow touches my nerves. My closest friends must’ve known that I’m a very paranoid person regarding the healthiness of my computer. Although I use Ubuntu alot lately, I also use Windows just for casual computing. And I have this weird messages lately from my server that indicates that my computer somehow sent messages with unscannable attachments.
This is the very indications that maybe my computer is infected with that worm. I think I’ll just use this method instead to check wether this computer is clean or not.



yes, that brontok thingie’s quite made a stir in itb itself.
anyway, i haven’t got that brontox though i use flashdisk a lot.
just lucky, i guess.
