Network (in)Security Interesting hacks and cracks. Info on firewalls, TCP/IP, encryption, networks, and security. The ins and outs of the phone system, caller services, how things work, what's illegal and what's not, cellular phones, beepers, telephony legislation, the PUC, ISDN, taps, who's listening, and switches. Talking about phones, hacking systems, technical advice, and such is completely LEGAL in the United States -- it's covered by the First Amendment. What's illegal is conspiracy to commit a crime. So if you say something like "Meet me at 2am so we can crack a can" or "I changed my cell phone's number myself" you are criminally liable. Stating "You can crack a can by doing thus-and-so" or "If you wanted to change a cell phone's number, you could do it like so" is perfectly OK. Posting passwords, calling card numbers, or credit card numbers is forbidden on this network. Posting such info will get you booted off the net.

Default Virus/Trojan I got...

I got a virus or trojan or something that, in my documents folder created a shortcut to itself with a folder called "New Folder". And in "New Folder" it has all the same items that my documents has, including "New Folder". And I was running AVG and it detected a trojan in my documents folder which means there is a never ending supply of this trojan in these folders with in a folder.

Does anyone have any info on a virus or anything that would do something like this?

If you installed GNU/Linux you would never get any viruses.

It's the infamous New Folder.exe virus/worm i presume.
Anyway, get yourself Kaspersky Rescue Disk and boot into it and run a full system scan using it. hopefully it will take care of your problem.

Good Luck.

And ditch AVG using Avira is possible.(it's free)

Which one? Mini plug (about 1/8th inch [3.5 mm] diameter) or normal (1/4 inch diameter)?

Most computers use the minis, but there are some that use the normal ones.
