    Old School Malware


    Latest from Sophos



    Can you spot what’s wrong with the picture above?

    That’s right. The application title has been renamed to “Internet Exploiter” (pity the malware author renamed “Internet Explorer” as such, I prefer the phrase “Internet Exploder” actually *grin*)

    This little effect was the result of a computer infected with an autorun worm, in particular, W32/AutoRun-AVH.

    Typos are pretty typical in malware ... There's even one that's been left by a good guy, Pepi MK of Spybot s&d fame.
    FileAlyzer© was a spelling mistake, but he decided to keep the spelling and now there is also RunAlyzer© and RegAlyzer©
