SubSARI?

[Steff Wiltersen]

When I scanned my computer for trojans, I found a trojan on my harddrive. The name on the trojan, was SubSARI.
Do you no about this trojan? Is this a dangerous trojan? And what meaning have the word "SARI"?

Thanks for all help!

Hi Steff,

In addition to Pete's reply:

You didn't mention what software you have been using to detect this one. Be sure to remove/delete the malware from your system.

After doing so, change all passwords. Although your system has been cleaned, passwords most probably are known by several, and thus can be abused.

Finally: practicing safe computing *will avoid infections like these. Any idea how it ended up in your system?

BOClean found Subsari on my drive while I was installing Editpad lite.
According to both Kevin McAleavy and Jan Goyvaerts of JGSoft this was a false positive because of BOClean somehow misjudging the Editpad installer.

As usual Kevin was lighntning fast in providing a fix, which entailed editing BOClean.ini, but unfortunately, whatever we tried, we couldn't get BC to accept Editpad.

However, I hasten to add, this is the only false positive I've ever had with BOClean.

Otherwise it's proved failsafe and completely reliable.

Hi Jan and Paul,

Thanks for the warm welcome!

I've been in and out, checking this place out, and I must say you guys have done a *fine job!.

It looks great, and you seem to have gathered an absolutely first rate band of moderators and regulars.

Although I've always been interested in everything concerning computer security, *I still feel very much the newbie in this respect, and I'll be sure to drop by regularly to deepen my understanding of these matters.

About the SubSARI issue, *I'm sure we'd have cornered it in the end, *if we'd kept at it, *but it wasn't that important to me, and I decided to install Notepad lite instead, which BOClean didn't object to...:)

Cheers, *Tony

Cheers, Jan.
