A friend of mine, who is pretty computer-savvy and a non-homestuck, checked out the SBURB download. He says:
“the download creates a visual basic file inside of the %appdata% folder on the user file. The file is a remote access trojan. I downloaded the file via a linux VM and analyzed its progression. the person using the rat is capable of accessing your computer remotely and using all of them programs on your computer (including webcam)”
So please be careful! It’s a virus!!!
Wow, thanks! I was really worried about it, so I decided to delete what I downloaded and just wait for someone else to get messed up.
You can never be too careful!
NEVERMIND
Okay, yeah
I checked in my appdata folder after downloading the zip file and sure enough, trojan
I was able to remove it but if anyone’s downloaded the SBURB thing you probably want to delete it and remove the trojan (it was an app with a weird name I can’t remember that started with two “i”s).
If you’ve downloaded the file you might want to delete it and look for that and then delete that.
re-rebagel for added proof
welp
