Warning! Read if French language appears on screen

[Collie]

Hello,

There seems to be a new form of trojan going around that affects some messageboards and websites by replacing English words with French ones.  The trojan is activated through malicious banner and popups that you may have unwittingly come across during your visit to any number of websites.

To check if you have the trojan on your machine, do not panic.  If you have Win 98, go to the start menu and the Run command.  There you must type: sfc  

Next scan for altered files.  If you have some altered files you are likely to be infected.  However, you must not change anything here or you run the risk of permanently wrecking your machine.  If not you may still have it.  In any case, do NOT panic because although there is no known cure at the moment, certain Anti-virus developers are aware of the situation and are working on a fix as I type this.

Please do not be alarmed.  In any case, it's a great opportunity for you to work on your French.

Goodbye for now,

Collie.

I'm seeing french. I knew i shouldn;t have disabled my anti-virus scanner ah nuts. Thanks for the uiinfo but i can't read what it says because its in french !Bugger! I've run SFC 3 times and its come up with nothing

I am writing the report about this on my website and shall post it shortly, possibly tomorrow.  It's nothing much to worry about as it only affects about 1 in 10,000 sites.  Best you brush up on your French in the meantime chap.

Its actually quite amusing as only a handful of words are in french. Your last message the majority of the last paragraph was in french apart from 'Meantime chap' i just found it amusing. I'm i going abit peculiar?

[Collie]

Unaccountably, I find it mildly amusing too.
