Why the infection would get into “A2 folder” specifically ???
I have my Portable Applications setup on iPod “Shuffle”
a-squared USB Software is there as well.
I would fire up the scan and then start VLC portable so I can listen to my mp3s from the same iPod (I don’t like to be bored during the scan)
So why the infection, if any, will choose a2 folder, but not the root directory or Skype / PDF reader/ Open Office… or any other directory there?
I wanna meant some malware like Win32.Disabler or Win32.Flystudio it make a fake folder inside original folder.
For example You have folder name “A2” it will make a file “A2.exe” inside “A2” folder.
and that folder used icon like folder.
Win32.Disabler.xx and its variants creates entries in %home% ; %system%; %sysdir%
Win32.FlyStudio.xx and its variants can create entries in %temp% in addition to the above
There are no reports about creating a folder with .exe extension by the above infections despite, yes such thing exists…
But that is not the point – my point was - why a2 folder specifically was mentioned as a target of some alleged infection in this particular thread & topic
