What do I think of this trojan. Hmmm, lets see....
1) Me not afraid ('Systems not affected: ...Linux)
2) Its another lame attempt from someone trying to have a life
3) Its another feeble attempt at someone getting a life (the paraphrase of #2 was intended)
4) Its another way for script kiddies to think of themselves as 31337 (chokes on air at this one)
5) Its another lousy virus definition windows users must download and corporations patch against
6) Its a waste of bandwidth
7) Its a waste of processing cycles
8) Its a waste of hdd space
9) Its lame
10) Its another excuse for morons to think they are indeed 'special'
Just my two cents, worth whatever they are with todays exchange rate

In my opinion it was a waste of time for someone to sit down and write garbage code like that and not to mention to use it

of course their not going to tell you how to use it. Its meant for certain groups to increase their cache of warez servers. telling everyone would defeat the purpose.
Looks like a spinoff on MUMA
