A Trojan For Me?

No updates in a week! I've actually been out of town since Thursday with very little internet access. Before I left I found a couple programs on my computer doing some naughty things. I didn't get around to looking at it until last night. One was a program called firedaemon which starts and runs programs as a service. The other was DarkMailer, which is used to send spam. Oh, and there was an ftp server installed as well. I think I've gotten rid of most of this, but have yet to find out what actually caused the problem so the computer is staying offline, for the most part, until I get it all figured out (something is still randomly turning off part of my virus/internet security software). Hopefully, if I need to format, it will be the last time before I buy a new computer (formatting will have to wait until after the season finale of Lost, btw. I will do my best to get some trivia up soon. I'll tell you about my trip soon as well.

pre-trivia trivia: Where do you think I went?

Sorry to hear about the computer woes. I remember being in the same situation not to long ago. :/
