What is Netbus?
NETBUS
Is a trojan, a backdoor that allows others access to
your computer remotely.
Once they have that access they can change/steal your passwords, run or delete
files,
reboot your computer, format drives, and even make
your computer unable to be started up,
all without your knowledge or consent.
Diagnosing Netbus in your System
When using your Irc Client ie
mIRC type the following in any window:-
//say $findfile(c:,keyhook.dll,0))
//say $findfile(c:\,patch.exe,0))
//say $findfile(c:\,explore.exe,0))
