New virus, seems that I had run into these more this year than I did from years 2004-2007… My MP3 Player took an infection from an unknown source; avast did not detect it reach my player. It stationed in my harddrive but got killed by avast. It went into the removeable medium and was undetected. My newer computer had not recieved a patch to protect against this virus- I hooked the device up and began re-arranging the files. I found this collection of other files hiding in one of my music folders; I had been having “file-formatting issues” with this article of music before I looked inside. This virus file name has unknown font/language, it tells filesize at 3.6 GB when my rockchip is only 978MB, it says the file was last updated on 2104- (It is using stealth behavior, I had seen it before.) The MP3 player is equipped with a built in delete option, and I attempted to remove the virus that way. The virus adapted to my mp3 player and disarmed the use of the delete option. Meanwhile in the past 5 hours the virus files will display on the mp3 player screen, and had been DUPLICATING. There appear to be five copies of each object. I had already hooked this into another computer to try to fix the problem, but the computer crashed in minutes.
A few of the file formats on this device are in easy recodnition- .EXE being executable, a single file on the mp3 player is named WIN32.EXE- I do not know if this is the “Brain” of the worm or not. Alongside this file is another called desktop.ini, and I don’t know what that format stands for. I will continue experimenting with the buttons on my device, it seems the controls are changing…
