| 236976 | 2004-05-16 09:56:00 | Hi Team I manually updated my NAV definitions this morning (just to keep the auto update honest) and when I came back to the computer a couple of hours later there was a big red message from NAV on the screen saying that the MHTMLdir.Exploit virus had been detected and removed. That looked pretty scary so I did a Google search to see what the virus was and what the payload might be but I can't find any trace of it. Does anybody know what this is, and could it have been a hoax message pretending to be NAV? Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 236978 | 2004-05-16 10:30:00 | Hi Billy, I got wacked yesterday by a trojan horse called IRC/backdoor.Sdbot.22.bt, but like yourself google was not of any help. In my case AVG found it, after it got into my computer, but could not remove it. I was forced to do a complete reinstall of win2000. Seems strange that we both were attacked yet google has no knowledge of either. Makes one wonder..... |

| 236981 | 2004-05-18 09:26:00 | C'mon guys. Google only works by displaying stuff that other people have published. If you get a brand new virus it will take a day or so for the AV guys to catch up and then a short time for Google to pick up on published references to it. Quick it is ... but it's not instantaneous....especially if nothing has been published about the subject. (Oh, I just checked Google ... still no reference to IRC/backdoor.Sdbot.22.bt.) :8} Ho hum | oggy (1250) | ||
| 236982 | 2004-05-18 10:30:00 | Whatever it was, it has been intercepted and killed. A full scan found nothing else. Thanks Nortons.:) Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 236983 | 2004-05-18 14:21:00 | Don't know much about these things, Billy, but would'nt NAV keep a log of viruses it has dealt with ? That way you can reassure yourself that it was not a hoax. Misty B-) ;) |
