Stinger found W32/SDBot Worm Gen H and SDBot/FTP

Avira found BDS/Pcclient.qf' [backdoor, WORM/SdBot.46992.1, JS/StartPage.C
when the drive was installed in my machine.

I've just downloaded those other scanners, just about to refit the drive to the case and try again.

I'd reinstall Windows except no Disk and I think it's a locked out key on the machine anyway.

671651 2008-05-23 09:11:00 Thats probably how / why they got it (by not patching / updating windows)

It exploited a vulnerability

671652 2008-05-23 09:19:00 Yeah that I know..

Somehow I don't think a couple in their 70's given a PC to use are going to want to splash out $250 for a legal copy of windows.

Therefore it was always how to get it working and "protected" in said state.
