Trojan.snag Virus

[CSN NewsBot]

Trojan.snag is a lovely virus whose sole purpose in life it to steal your CD-Key and send an ICQ message to its master. Discovered on January 17th, this lovely little bug is thankfully not very active yet. For those of you who are too cheap to buy Norton, here's a free online virus scan for your checking pleasure.

Whats the ICQ# of it's creator? We should spam him with fake cdkeys!

There are numerous new ones coming out. Don't play on servers without some form of protection, ie; dont play at all

Also I recommend trendmicro.com as well.

Norton AV work swell enough for me. Especially when combined with ZoneAlarm :)

what the hell is the point in taking peoples cd keys? do they just have too much time on their hands?

I'm scared, someone hug me D;



Really tho, I think it's too easy to steal cd keys anyways, who's gonna stop your friend from typing regedit and stealing your cd key?

i'd really hope that your friend wouldn't be stealing your cd key, and if he is, he wouldn't be your friend very long :p

[LOCK|DOWN]

even more reason not to use ICQ (like you needed another reason)



and besides i use 2 keys, one for pubbing/pugging and another exclusively for matches.

I doubt YOU need ICQ installed for the Trojan to notify it's creator of your CD-Key.
