Yay for another virus that is not a virus.
Before this turns into a muddled chaotic mass of accusations, I will say a few things at first:
- This is NOT a virus. Viruses infect things. Even if this was a Trojan horse, which I doubt, it would NOT be a virus and probably is not capable of spreading on its own.
- There is no way to transfer a virus via Jazz 2.
- This is probably an external program that simply joins under those two names, using the two slots and little more; I see no reason to assume that this is a virus.
- I also see no reason to assume that this is Spazzyman's work immediately; do not simply blame him for having his name there. Someone could be trying to put the blame on him, or perhaps not. Jumping to conclusions helps nothing.
You may want to try a program such as ApprehendJJ2 to catch the IP address of the intruder and then do a reverse DNS lookup to find out what it is. You can check with various sources to find out who has it and, if you want, you can send it to me and I will look it up against a database I have from IRC logs and Jazz 2 playing.
You also may want to check to see if any unusual programs are running. If you can, go to msconfig or Regedit and post a list of the names of the programs and their file pathes that you have running. This is not a completely necessary thing, and I doubt it is a local Trojan horse, but better safe than sorry. Chances are this is simply a hoax and a scare tactic to be ignored; after all, a Trojan horse that does nothing more than that probably is very little threat, and I seriously doubt this is even a Trojan horse at all.
Post if you get any more information, if at all possible.
