<<< NEWS FROM THE LAB - Tuesday, October 6, 2009 >>> ARCHIVES | SEARCH Trojan Goes OldSkool Posted by Response @ 06:08 GMT Remember those long-gone days when malware popped up strange, cheeky or amusing messages while they 0wned your computer? We had a recent reminder with Trojan:W32/LongLeeb.A.



On booting up Windows, the trojan displays the following message box:







The message is in Tagalog, and reads: "Long live Gloria, FG, Abalos, Chavit, Jok Jok, Gonzales, Jose Pidal!". All the names mentioned refer to real Filipinos.



Again, on the Desktop, the following message is displayed:







Which basically says: "Again, Long live Philippines! Long live Manny Pacquiao, too!!!"



The trojan itself is fairly cookie-cutter, but the messages are so reminiscent of early 90's viruses, it almost makes us feel… nostalgic.
