Description:

A sinister computer virus recently discovered on digital photo frames has been identified as a powerful new Trojan Horse from China that collects passwords for online games - and its designers might have larger targets in mind. The virus, which Computer Associates calls Mocmex, recognizes and blocks antivirus protection from more than 100 security vendors, including the security and firewall built into Microsoft Windows. It downloads files from remote locations and hides files, which it names randomly making itself very difficult to remove. It spreads by hiding itself on photo frames and any other portable storage device that happens to be plugged into an infected PC.

I feel really sorry for it as I am Chinese. However, I donot think there should be so great a panic and China should not be the target of boycott. This conduct has been done by individuals, not by goverment or manufacturers.

Thanks for the warning, I think a lot of people may want to know. Sorry I don't have that many friends, but Youchoose might put this one on their first page if you ask them.
