Possible virus in Freeciv Windows client

Post by pipo »

Hi all!
I do not have much time to write this but I must warn you anyway.
I was downloading a lot of new software last weekend for Windows7 since I need to live in that env. because
of my needs to watch Netflix (which can only use silverlight).
After the downloads as a habit, I started an antivirus scan just to make sure...
I had the big surprise of finding out that I had a very nasty virus in the file
freeciv-gtk2.exe and is its name is WIN.Worm.Kolab-288 associated with Hilder.
Google tells me that it is really something that you do not want on your machine.
AVG and spybot failed to identify that virus.
Somewhere I find out some processes associated with this virus and
I identified at least on on my machine (csrss), so I do not think this is a
mistake in identification.
I could see that I was not the first to get that virus here

I am out of that machine and I will be using Linux from now on with it.

Let me know of your findings please.
