HoRuS 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2005 A new virus has just been found, called Nwin27, and is send trough MSN, Yahoo, AOL and many others... Tis virus is hidden within a powerpoint presentation called matrix.pps, do NOT open this, it will wipe out your whole HD using an animation of 10secs, it will also use your IP to harm you and your isp (not bad in my case ) and spread to all your contacts... Norton and MS haven't developed an anti-virus for this yet, since it was just found this morning (8am GMT). I wonder if they can make one anyways It was developed by some French pirate Peace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snlildude87 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2005 I'm moving this to the securies and exploits forum because I think this is a security issue. :lol:I don't use MSN, Yahoo, or any other IM services, so I don't have to worry about this. Oh, and Powerpoint is not installed on my computer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cypher 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2005 Jesus, who comes up with these things? Why would anyone go to the bother of writing a virus, just to harm others computers? ANd how would you manage to get a virus into a powerpoint file anyway? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hamtaro 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2005 I hate viruses! I'm just glad I don't have power point. If I see a power point on my computer, I'll delete it anyway. That's some good information, though. It'll help those with power point on their computers. It sure sounds like a pretty bad virus...Really glad I don't have power point now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ANd how would you manage to get a virus into a powerpoint file anyway? 133784[/snapback] There's things called joiners, which can integrate a virus with any type of file you like, even other viruses, and each file will run at the same time, in this case the powerpoint would run, and the virus would be silently attacking at the same time.I know this because I wanted to be a hacker a few years back, and so I learned A LOT of stuff about hacking. BTW, this isn't considered hacking, it's -phracking-, which is the use of hacking in detrimental ways. Pure hacking is simply to find holes in security, not to hurt computers in anyway. Anyways, I don't usually accept messages, let alone files, from people I don't know, and I don't have powerpoint installed on this machine, so meh, I'm cool.
