WARNING virus epidemic
CrossFire hacks recently have been packaged with a another kind of hack tool, not currently detected as a virus. This tool is known as "tool-store", you can research that yourself.
In short, this file logs all saved passwords by
FireFox
Internet Explorer
FileZilla
SmartFTP
ICQ 6.5
ICQ 7
MSN Messenger
Miranda
Trillian
Pidgin
No-IP
Steam
Logs them into a specified location along with system data on your computer. This alone does not constitute a virus, and thus is not detected.
A completely separate file is made/loaded to send that data to its final destination. An uploading or mailer program is also not a virus on its own, and is not detected.
MAKE SURE THIS HASN'T HAPPENED TO YOU!
go to your user directory on your machine
(XP users:
c:\documents and settings\username\
vista
7 users:
C:\users\username\)
add to the end of the folder address (as the folder you are going into are hidden) "AppData\Roaming"
so your folder should now look like: C:\users\username\AppData\Roaming\
if you see in there "tool-store-log.html"
you are in trouble!
(opening this file will display all the usernames and passwords logged. you're going to want to change ALL of them. preferably from a different, clean machine)
SORRY FOR THE BAD NEWS, AND GOOD LUCK!!!
