Malware and Trojans and Worms, Oh My
I was unsurprised by the recent news of an attack coming from random web sites. As I think I might have mentioned, things had been wonky enough for my big client that I wondered.
Today there is a guy there whose machine was so infested several days ago that it couldn’t access the internet at all. No viruses, just malware that took hours to ditch and came just short of resulting in an fdisking.
To my dismay, today he is back in what he reported to me as “can’t get on the internet” condition, and the manager reports as “can’t do anything” condition. Makes me wonder what ailed the machine that I didn’t find the last time…
