What did you expect them to "do"? Well, I was mainly looking for a trojan that would download other viruses, expanding the POSSIBLITIES for me to get screwed over I mean, what kind of a virus would just run at 90% CPU, or just pop up an error message and be done with?Quote from: tgp1994 on June 10, 2010, 01:04:57 PM I was mainly looking for a trojan that would download other viruses How do you know that they didn't? Anyhow, most real-world malware apps are not WRITTEN purely and simply just to infect people's computers, for the pure joy of causing mischief. They often have some purpose such as joining your pc to a botnet, turning it into a spam relay, or a number of other THINGS, all of which they do silently and behind the scenes. If you are doing all this in a VMWare virtual machine, I sure hope you aren't sharing any folders with the host OS... Well, I suppose the more malware I have, the better. Mischief sounds good to me. And definetly no, I am not doing FOLDER sharing. In some cases, I'll disconnect the virtual network adapter after downloading a virus (to see if it is) just for good measure. |
