Trojans on a CD (music file)

Viruses and worms
1

I recently borrowed a CD containing music files, and on the off chance I scanned it with Avast and I found a Trojan - WMA:Wimad (Drp). Question is can I get rid of the Trojan or do we have to destroy the CD.
Thanks in advance

I did post this topic earlier today but I don’t see it on the boards, I can’t have sent it properly. Sorry, if this is a repeat, please delete it.

Copy the files you need and leave the Trojan file. Here’s some information about how it operates:

Thanks for your quick reply Frank, I’ll try that

Hmmmm, curious.

Wimad was, say, exploitation of the certain mechanism in WM/WMA files which allows the file to interpret simple commands, which usually redirect to page containing malware pretenting to be player/codec needed to play the file. Since the detection is rather new, there is always nonzero probability that I messed something up. Can I please have the sample? kubecj AT youknow.com

would this detection be related to the Win32.GetCodec worm or is this unrelated? (I saw an article about it on kaspersky’s website)

Probably the same thing.

Is it a sample of Wimad you want, if so how do I send it ? :o

Send it by mail, ideally zipped with ‘infected’ password. You may have to turn off the residents temporarily before doing that.

Hi Kubecj, can’t send it, I just keep getting an error message when I try to open a new message

What message?
