Matt Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 Thanks NERELDA I noticed it comes through port 6667; an IRC port... Are there any safety precautions (besides the whole firewall and AV, don't open unknown attachments, the whole deal) that I should practise now?M@ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Besttechie Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 Hi Matt,I noticed it comes through port 6667; and IRC port...No, it doesn't come through an IRC port. What happens is once it is executed it attemps to connect to a few IRC servers through that port. So you don't get it through IRC it just happens to be one of the things it trys to do once it gets you infected.When W32.Bofra.D@mm is executed, it performs the following actions:10. Attempts to connect to the following IRC servers on TCP port 6667:B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
