Re: Linux infected ?

[Rodrigo Hashimoto <rodhash@gmail.com>]

Hi Henri,

In fact I received this file from a friend, and when I saw the attached
file it sounds like a html file, that's why I tried to use the
iceweasel.

In the first attempt the iceweasel didn't respond, then I tried again
and I realized the iceweasel was trying to use the wine. Then I
realized with the command "file" it is a binary file for Windows machines,
look:

$ file curriculo762.com
curriculo762.com: PE32 executable for MS Windows (GUI) Intel 80386 32-bit
$ 

Thanks for your help.

First of all, why did you open a file, which you obviously don't trust?
This is a very serious error. Same thing considers emails from unknown
senders.

I beleive that isn't security risk for you, but next time don't click
those viruses. If you want to know what kind of malware it was use for
example:

http://anubis.iseclab.org/
http://virusscan.jotti.org/

Maybe your client is configured to open win32 binaries in wine, which in
my opinion isn't very smart thing to do, because of these cases.
