BEWARE: DVT release of Ad Aware 2007!!! - 11-15-2007

This thing has appeared on RLSLOG- (so links may appear on forumw soon).

Do not download it or be very cautious if you do! it is infected with a password stealing trojan.
It isn't detected by many or all of the main AV apps at the moment.

Files planted by the installer in c:\windows:

Projekt1.exe
plds4.dll
softokn3.dll
FirePassword.exe
nspr4.dll
nss3.dll
plc4.dll


It will decrypt and steal any passwords stored in firefox...and send it straight to the hacker on the other end.

Thanks for the info.

Won't affect me much. As I had stopped storing passwords in Firefox 2-3 months ago.
( after _this_ incident )
