Message-ID: <000901c38c7c$fd134e00$4802a8c0@Security> From: joel at helgeson.com (Joel R. Helgeson) Subject: Email Harvesting virus? I came across an intersting event today. I haven't been able to research it as much as I'd like, but I'd like to toss it out to the community just the same. A customers machine appears to be infected with some type of malware that apparently harvests email addresses and puts them into a file named '~'. Just the tilde ~, no extention. This file is created under the C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\~. I have attached a zipped copy of the file for refrence. I came across the file earlier today, renamed it and copied it off to a keychain USB drive for later analysis. Well, the file re-created itself and the malware creating it is not immediately apparent. I've scanned all the running apps but I haven't had much time to investigate. Any ideas? Joel R.
