Trojan.Farknew is a Trojan horse that opens a back door. . .

it's always about the butt around here, isn't it?

sarty		2005-12-06 11:40:01 AM

Hahahahahahahahaaaa!

Last One Left		2005-12-06 11:52:00 AM

There is a link on that site that the trojan connects to, which re-directs to Fark.

sarty		2005-12-06 11:55:09 AM

It redirects to Fark? Oh my.

Now, how does this help anyone? I mean, whoever made this, what do they get out of directing browsers to Fark?

Contrabulous Flabtraption		2005-12-06 11:58:33 AM

I got that virus. But in my case, it came over and belittled me for my faith and screamed a bunch of historical inaccuracies at me. Then it had buttsecks on my lawn.

owtytrof		2005-12-06 11:59:01 AM

Are they trying to fark Fark?

UVIA?

Reportedly comes over to your house, drinks all your beer, passes out on your lawn

Fortunately, you can scare it away by mounting a plastic owl on your roof.

Sardonic_Padre		2005-12-06 12:00:31 PM

you cant fark Fark. thats like jebus microwaving a bean burrito so hot that even he cant eat it. unpossible.

Dr.Robotnik		2005-12-06 12:00:55 PM

Comedy

iamscotto		2005-12-06 12:01:31 PM

If someone sends you this file, just remember

it's a trap.

Zappagirl		2005-12-06 12:01:57 PM

The damned virus asked to see my boobies and gave me a UFIA while talking about my mom.

cracKness		2005-12-06 12:02:29 PM

Forget a trojan or a worm...shouldn't it be an owl?

mrexcess		2005-12-06 12:02:58 PM

Looks like a pretty lame-ass trojan at that. WTF is the purpose?

moops		2005-12-06 12:03:48 PM

so this virus makes your computer so you can't get any work done. how is this different from fark?

default_user01		2005-12-06 12:04:29 PM

What, no BUTTSECKS references yet?

/WTF?
//UFIA!

MusicMakeMyHeadPound		2005-12-06 12:04:55 PM

I got this virus. It turned every commented link into either a poop thread or a "show me your boobies\weeners" thread.

/not that I minded

FarkIsSlashdotForDummies		2005-12-06 12:05:38 PM

i think drew and co. created it to get new visitors to fark.
i guess those adbrite popup ads they have been using on other sites just aint bringing in any return on investment...

god bless the usa!

ericjohnson0		2005-12-06 12:06:19 PM

Sought for questioning...

Jonathan39305		2005-12-06 12:08:05 PM

You know your website is cool when you have a trojan named after it. I think Drew should somewhat take this as a compliment.

Dr.Robotnik		2005-12-06 12:08:22 PM

default_user01

Do you not read posts above yours?

mark12A		2005-12-06 12:08:40 PM

The dammed virus made my balls so big I had to stand upright all the time with my legs bowed.

/then my dog started making demands
//and then I found mustard splatters all around the house
///then my keyborad started//////////////

I hope you had at least trimmed the shrubbery recently

Rfairney		2005-12-06 12:10:07 PM

The site redirects yes, but it will also keep track of connections, it is probably used to track which machines are infected.

And notice, it will only continue to run and infect *.mavy.mil and *.pacom.mil

Apart from that its just a standard trojan, and nothing really noteworthy beyond the linking here

Jonathan39305		2005-12-06 12:13:54 PM

Meant to use bold on Drew's name... damn I'm out of it

MassAsster		2005-12-06 12:17:55 PM

No one has commented on the fact that the site isn't a symantec site?

Crown Of Negativity		2005-12-06 12:18:14 PM

We need a top notch investigator for this cyber threat!

blahpers		2005-12-06 12:20:09 PM

Hmmmm....

*writes down idea to propagate a virus that wraps the text to all Fark posts into QuakerGuy images*

unoriginal_farking_name		2005-12-06 12:21:34 PM

Ah Yes!

Mike_Bolton		2005-12-06 12:25:52 PM

snoringtoad		2005-12-06 12:26:30 PM

Drew looks like that transporter guy from star trek: next generation.. never noticed that before.

CraicBaby		2005-12-06 12:31:13 PM

It's not a virus, it's Trojan.Farknew!

TotalFarknew automatically deducts $5 from your bank account while uploading tranny, incest and pee/poo porn to your hard drive, and it keeps redirecting you to a different whiny blog every time you try to click on a link in your browser.

dc-kid		2005-12-06 12:31:50 PM

blahpers
I might pay to see it

/if only it lasted a day or two

LOL, *snort*, LOL!

Nicely done, my friend.
/+50 Fark points.

You know the worst part, one of us posters did this and is laughing like a school girl right now.

Watch out though. You might have to register as a sex offender afterwards.

I smells bullshiat... must be lunch time

Lews_Therin		2005-12-06 02:29:57 PM

Here's the real site. Not sure why the link is to some earthlink site.

queezyweezel		2005-12-06 02:35:42 PM

ConanTroutman: howcomes the link says earthlink at the top?

Most likely the person that submitted it is on earthlink, and thats the caching server. it looks like they linked to the cache from their ISP.
