Called BotVoice.A, the Trojan was first detected by security software Panda Software last weekend. Although BotVoice's method of infiltrating victim computers is a bit complicated (requires the victim to download the Trojan to the computer), but once "safely responding", it will immediately "play" immediately.
First, BotVoice will find ways to wipe all data inside the victim's hard drive. At the same time, it will also constantly spit out a verbal message, seemingly written by hackers to mock their victims.
" You've been infected, repeat: You've been infected with the worm. All system files have been deleted. Sorry. Good day and goodbye now, " the sour voice said.
The Trojan said the sentence ... 'Farewell' to the victim Picture 1Source: Infoworld According to Panda, BotVoice used a text-reading program in Windows operating system to do this. All users of Windows 2003, XP, 2000, NT, ME, 98 and 95 are in danger.
Unlike viruses, BotVoice.A cannot jump from one computer to another by itself, but it can spread via P2P networks or storage devices such as CD-ROM and USB drives.
According to Roger Thompson, chief technology officer of Exploit Prevention Labs, BotVoice.A is quite different between today's Trojan forests. "For many years, I have not seen any software that is impartial and has no motive like this. It just needs to clean up and ridicule users, not raising any other malicious intentions ."
