Daj odi na hr.org.hinet i procitaj kaj se tamo desavalo zadnjih par
tjedana, downloadaj si normalni antivirusni program i skini si to s
kante, a prije toga nemoj ni slucajno nikome nista slati, jer virus
ima 32-bitni winsock s kojim sam sebe salje repetiranjem svih mail i

Subject: Trojan warning


Happy99, ska trojan virus.
Information about the happy99, ska Trojan:
Happy99 is a Win32 based Trojan program. When this program is executed
it will display some fireworks. Apart from the fireworks display this
program will do some other activity in the background without the
user's
permission. In the background this program will create two files
SKA.EXE
and SKA.DLL. It will alter WSOCK32.DLL to put its code into that file
and keep the original file as WSOCK32.SKA. It can not modify the
WSOCK32.DLL file if it is in use. In such a case this program will add
an entry to the Windows Registry to run SKA.EXE the next time the
computer is booted so that it can do these modifications. The size of
this trojan file is 10000 bytes.
You will not get infected by Happy99 merely by downloading the trojan
file. You will have to execute it to get infected.
The modified WSOCK32.DLL has routines to detect the email and
newsgroup
postings made by the user. It will send a copy of the SKA.EXE file
renamed as happy99.exe to every user or newsgroup to whom the user has
sends an email. Each recipient will get the email only once and the
trojan will not send repeat email to the same user. It will send a
separate email retaining the subject of the first email with the file
as
an attachment. The trojan also maintains the file LISTE.SKA which
contains the list of all email addresses and newsgroups to which this
file has been sent. The unique function of this trojan is that it can
spread on its own.
Happy99 first apeared in January 1999 and it is reported to have
affected a lot of users.
Other names of happy99:
This trojan is also known as win32.ska.a, ska, wsock32.ska and
ska.exe.
What is happy99? Troran, Virus or Worm?
This program can only be classified as a Trojan. It is not a virus as
it
does not replicate itself. It does not attach itself any other file or
program. It is also not a worm as even though it can spread on its
own,
it needs to be executed to get control. A worm is capable of spreading
and infecting the target computer on its own. Happy99/Ska is a trojan
with the capability to distribute itself.
