Armor Manager

Petra Fyde · 19th November 2005, 07:33 AM

Picked this information up in UO Hall.

There's a program called Armor Manager. It claims to help you organise your armor properties by working with UO assist dress macro. Which would appear to make it ok to use, since it doesn't interact directly with uo.

But

It apparently has a keylogger in it and is the cause of several of the recent hackings.

You found a nugget of good information in U.Hall... Impressive. Now go get some rest, Petra you must be exhausted shoveling through the rest of the bs in there to find this gem. hehe

Thanks for the heads up.. I get so frustrated trying to put resists together that I would have installed that proggy in a heartbeat had you not warned us first!

Hehe... that's what friends are for. I didn't put together anything that I'm wearing right now.

Thanks for the warning Petra

Heh.. my friends would tire of me sending them pigeons every 20 minutes though... I go through armor WAY to fast to worry about whether a friend is online to help me sort through it. *chuckles*

Not sure if this came up in the thread at U.Hall, but this trojan has now made its way onto ebay. I was bored tonight (or this morning, rather) and decided to see what things were selling on ebay. I go there and find these three programs:

*Links Removed by Admin*

I thought to myself, "These have got to be viruses." So I decided to download them (the seller so generously offers a seven day trial period

). The first sign of there being trouble was when all three programs had roughly the same file size (~498KB). So after completing the download (didn't take long) I ran them through some virus scanners. All three programs reported the same viruses. http://virusscan.jotti.org/ reported the following which remained constant for all three programs:

I really hope no one falls for this. It is bad enough to lose your account, but to unwillingly pay someone to take it from you?

It troubles me that so many virus scanners couldnt detect it.

The ebay links have been removed, as the auctions have links to these illegal third party programs. We do not endorse Third-Party programs at UOF, and it's our policy not to link to them.

However, please do be careful if you are seeking these out. And best not to buy downloadable programs from Ebay at all.

Thank you Smythe for showing us proof of the viruses. I do hope everyone will be careful.

Smythe · 30th November 2005, 07:22 PM

I linked to those ebay auctions as a means of showing people the infected files, host website, and ebay seller to stay away from. I understand why the links were removed, though.

If you thought that was bad then the virus scan for the icq.doc file was much worse.

erm,
icq.doc?

can you give us some idea where that came from and if it's something we're likely to have gotten from somewhere?

I don't accept files via icq, or anything else for that matter, but sometimes you don't actively have to accept something to get it anyway.
Was it part of the ebay package, or is it from a different source entirely?
