BridgeX Trojan

[Mr Manifesto]

There seems to be a cute little trojan doing the rounds in Australia, called BridgeX (has a filename of .dll, whatever that means). My girlf's sister copped it, and I laughed. Then I got home, noticed my 'puter was acting screwy, did a scan, and before you could say 'instant karma'...

Anyway, while scanning, I've come across what appears to be an unknown virus which is in roughly the same part of my hard drive as the trojan. Can anyone think of a reason why this might be?

What do you mean by "the same part"? The same partition? Sector? Or are you referring to the file system- the same folder perhaps?

dll stands for "data link library", I believe. Windows stores much of the data required for it's innumerable parts in .dll files.

Any more data on either of these baddies? Like what do they do?

Do they afffect the JREF clock for example? I seem to have replied before you posted.

You believe wrong. A dll is a "dynamic link library", which simply means that an executing thread can load it and use it at run time. A dll can hold, code, or data, or both.
