    Heard more people about this name but not with the icon you mention.
    I don't have it with the last update, scanning all startup scans, reboored, scanning again a full system scan, but nothing.
    I know there is looking into it, did not see the results yet in the private forum or here.
    We'll keep in touch.

    hi Jooske..I am not sure if the icon is part of the registry key.could be a coincidence..
    RegVal Trace: RAT.Dua ti choi: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    File: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run [Taskmonitor=C:\WINDOWS\taskmon.exe]

    I would like to see what this "Dua ti choi" is doing,if anything.(I don't see any ports open in netstat that aren't supposed to be.) anyhoo.. deleted the offensive buggar. wonder how it got there ?? I have regpro running.. and have tds-3 do the reg&filetrace as part of the default...eheh.
    I saw a mention to port 911 but thats Dark Shadow i believe.
    K thnx jooske.

    If i had found it i certainly would have sent it as a sample to DCS labs for investigation.
    Still waiting for reactions; nobody else had the download.com icon as far as i saw comments so for the moment i keep that as a coincidente, until further comments.

    Unfortunately i don't understand Vietnamese, the language those pages are in, but i wondered from the little bits i think to undrrstand if it might be vietnamese for sub7?
    If so our scanners should protect us; did you try online scans as well?

    i did a online scan and the deleted reg key of dua ti choi didn't show up but I'll be hung out to dry if a surpernova.e worm didn't show up..it was never executed so i remain safe and sound workstation 4 the moment :) A while back(bout a month) I was concerned over my net connection being capped by my ISP because i couldn't seem to stay connected for very long(sometimes 5 min...to 1hr..depend on usage.) if i was just wandering the weeb my conn. stayed up 4 up to an hour..as soon as I put some pressure on the modem ie..d/l a file. it rarely finished before i lost connection..maybe 1 min. to 5 min. tops..turned out to be modem kaput :eek: ..but I did some d/ling sans safety net...just to see iffin my connection would fail(yes it did).I think thats how these nasties got on my sys..

    I'm almost thinking that it might be a false detection. After waiting for more info, I ran a regedit and nothing by that name was found. I then deleted the thing through TDS. I then opened TDS to run another scan and it is still showing up.

    I still wonder why some have it and others not even from the same download locations.
    If you pronounce it with some accent for me it sounds like "That'll teach you!"
    I do hope it's a false positive but surely would threat it like a real one and trying to hunt and zip or quarantine it.
    As i see the story of it coming back after reboot, try to reboot as little as possible, scan of course and keep looking for strange processes and connections, close or kill (netstat or port explorer) all unknown traffic, in the scanning of files look for modifications, such things.
    I wonder about that added registry key. If it says it's there but is not in reality it should certainly be a false positive.
    Did not find translation engines for vietnamese, dictionaries yes, but that is so many words to go through..........
    The nasty is over 6 months old, so protection against it is certainly in the TDS primaries.

    Late morning coffee here :)
    Sorry for not posting the pages with the screenshots i found googling, as i can't know if those and URLs mentioned from there are within our TOS.
    If somebody reads vietames, we'll probably all be interested in some interesting snips from the info provided there.
