Interesting new PC virus to look for
Posted by Michael Munkittrick on June 16, 2006 at 9:24 pmI stumbled on a virus by accident while opening a CD from a friend, but since it directly affected my AE install, I thought that you guys might benefit from it.

Let me guess, a hacked version of AE?

You are too new in this forum to know our very respected friend Michael, so you should be apologized. Just please, don’t be too quick with these kinds of remarks in the future. Thanks.
Salut.

June 18, 2006 at 5:36 amNo harm done. I too have been hasty in castrating people when they ask subjects that are atypical to the norm. I assure you that all of my software is not only paid for, but most are registered and verified. I am often a frank and outspoken opponent when it comes to the packages that I use to make money with, sometimes to my own detriment as my words occasionally get away from me as well.

June 18, 2006 at 5:38 amThe virus is being traced by McAfee as I type this. It is apparently a piece of software that deletes random registry nodes, but since I use AE so often, that’s where I focused my attention. After I made the post above, I realized that nearly all of my registry was corrupt and not just those products that I was immediately aware of.
