Chan 1 Posted January 23, 2002 This is what they have to say: Virus Warning Reported by: David   HighSociety from OFP Cinematic and others have notified me of a virus that a community memeber is trying to spread: I was sent a file by Mark Cook aka Tafferboy from the Who Dares Wins Addon/Mod http://www.btinternet.com/~thetafferboy/index.htm sas.zip It contains a sas.exe installer, DO NOT execute it as its actually a Trojan Horse type virus, it nearly deleted my hard disk! Do not know why i was sent this but i thought i should inform all webmasters. I confronted tafferboy and he admitted sending it..what a malicious rat. Please can you all take precautions and post news informing the community not to download the file. (It may be on your servers) Beware of all the files you download from now on, before you receive a nasty virus too.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damage Inc 0 Posted January 23, 2002 Hoax? That's what it sounds like at least. The website doesn't even work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SimplyCosmic 0 Posted January 23, 2002 Could you tell us which trojan is alledgedly in these files? A good reference to check against for potential hoaxes and real viruses is Symantec's Security Response Site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted January 23, 2002 http://www.btinternet.com/~thetafferboy/addons.htm works and then shows the rest of the site. I'm going to close this for now, there are no addons to download from his site as far as I can see and until there is proof his addon contains a trojan then it's not fair to cast aspersions.
