LeeA trojan detected as Troj/Qhost-AC is stopping users to connect on peer-to-peer (P2P) websites according to a blog entry yesterday at Sophos.
The article includes a screenshot of the Trojan file. The file modifies the HOSTS file and it also includes a profanity.
CheeHui of Sophos notes that it is unusual to see a Trojan like this since, although it denies infected machines on connecting to P2P sites, it does not do anything else. Trojans are known to redirect banking sites.

that’s crazy.. Wonder who made that trojan. The music or movie companies?
Given that I just cleaned a laptop of over 19000 virus files waiting to be shared on P2P… I’m not sure this is such a bad thing.
I think the RIAA is behind it.
Luckily it is not very sensitive site.
