js_play.a

hi guys,wonder if you could loan me any info on.
js_play.a
a friend of mine got infected by it,im off to work right now and could do with as mich info as pos.
thanx in advance.

 

strange, there's no record at Symantec or McAffee of any virus named:
js_play
js play
js.play

 

thanx rikku........thats what i found in the 10 minutes free time i had before work this morning,thats why i put the job on you guys shoulders
a friend of mine phoned me to say she couldnt get into windows(2k) so i went over and had a look.everytime, windows re-started before full boot and came up with loads of errors,managed to get into safe mode and disable a few things and eventually got it to boot up,did the online scan at housecall,thats what it found js_play a trojan,its not listed in the cleaner d/b either.
but it got past norton and zonealarm and turned off true vector,which renders z/a usless,and i couldnt re-configure it .....also wouldnt let me update norton and auto protect is gone in norton also.
im gonna go and have a wrestle with it tonight,ill let you know how i do.
thanx again

 

btw.......housecall deleted it but like the dirty dog,it seems it left some of its droppings behind.

 

yeah let me know what happens. Maybe its a new virus. You should report it maybe to Symantec?

Its strange that Norton wouldn't detect it but Housecall would!

Score one for Housecall!

 

Stranger still that Trend Micro have dropped JS.Play.a from Pc-Cillin pattern files:
