Comments Off | Hot: |  | |  | | |

The Gnome ‘waterfall’ Screensaver http://jamesfriesen.net/762
The Ninja Black Theme article http://jamesfriesen.net/f6q
A quick fix for these can be found on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1349801 and the gory details are http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1349678
This command below should remove the offending scripts for an infected machine. DO NOT run this unless you know you are infected.
sudo rm -f /usr/bin/Auto.bash /usr/bin/run.bash /etc/profile.d/gnome.sh index.php run.bash && sudo dpkg -r app5552
