Xtruder v3.5 Trojan
------------------------
Hi All....
There is a new trojan out. The trojan in inside Xtruder v3.5. If you use a
fakekey or the keyfile "Alex Holst #5", Xtruder v3.5 will delete your SYS:
partition. Virus Help Team Denmark can not support this kind of programming
by an antivirus programmer, and will not support Xtruder with new viruses.
We consider the procedure to be irresponsible and legally very questionable
We think the programmer did himself and his program a great harm. The trust
of the users should be gone.
Here is a copy of a letter that Martin Wulffeld mailed in Virus_Amy:

*** To : All
*** About: Xtruder 3.5
Hi
As some of you may know Xtruder 3.5 has done a bit of damage to peoples files.
However, it has only affected those people who used a fake keyfile and
hopefully also the criminal Bxxxx Pxxxxxxx (2:xxx/xx) who still owes my friend
Alex Holst somewhere around 7000 Dkr. I hope all you fucknuts learned a
lesson. From v3.6 and forward I will remove this behaviour.
Peace out!
