This virus family is morphing so fast that it is difficult to keep up
the new versions are tough to remove
so get safe- stay safe
have a couple of antispyware products downloaded , updated and ready to run on demand as your internet connection could be disrupted making a download impossible when it is needed most
Had a look at this. Downloaded the linked .exe from the file sharing site. Scanned clean (Avast, MBAM, SAS, and AVG AS.)
No user comments on that youtube video seem to have noticed anything untoward…not that that means much, I realise.
The file has been analysed already at Virus total, here’s the link: http://www.virustotal.com/analisis/c3aa8ebe35b3b46a86ed69919cea6e6b (6 detections, mainly heuristic by the looks.)
So having looked at it, and downloaded the “HaloTAB Aimbot.exe” what’s the risk, here?
Or was this malware not actually the download suggested in the vid, but an actual exploit on the youtube page?
AH, I see.
No, I actually wasn’t sure at all. You see, I don’t know how to identify malware just by the file structure/analysis and I don’t have a virtual machine to run it in.
What I was looking for was clues that it was malware, and I was curious to know how you knew it was.
Had I run it, just for fun, my only line of defence at that point was Threatfire, which might well have been up to the task of stopping it, but I’d rather not find out the hard way.
