Anyone know anything know anything about this one? The big three don't have anything close in their databases regular or hoax. I have found 15 sites of a European nature that have the trojan listed ahead of BugBear on movement within the last 24 hours in Europe. Full name is "trojan.iframeexec" Symantec and Mcaffe don't find it. Took a trialware called stop-sign to find it.

I don't know Russian, but below is the text I put into a online translator and what It kicked out. Not all words were converted.

"Virus takes advantage blank in insurances (security) called " " Incorrect MIME Header, which (who) allows automatic start-up of enclosure during browsing of message (knowledge) e - mail.

End of translation

Only Stop Sign will find it, it is a bogus marketing ploy and very bad software. If you would use the search feature at the top of the page for Stop Sign, you will see previous posts about it. take care!

Capt?

I downloaded the program onto my own computer so I could help my friend out. It was not on my computer, a friends. StopSign does look pretty bad in those links, but it did not find anything but spyware cookies on mine. Why would it find it on his, and not mine if thats all the program did? Plus I found 3 security sites that do a tracking of worldwide viruses, and each had this trojan near the top in Russia. Would a hoax also get listed on these tracking sites?

I did the search you were talking about at the top, so let me make sure we read the same thing. I did a search for the filename and found nothing. I did a search on stop sign and found the negatives about the software, but no mention of this particular virus. The software may be bad, but I'm going to guess that this trojan turns out to be real. If ploy, why didn't I have it?
