Liquid.Trojan -- Posted by Igor_Donchenko on Tuesday, July 9 2002
Liquid.Trojan comes in the form of the executable file Mp3 Liquid Burn.exe.

When it is executed, it fills the \Program Files folder and the root folder of drive C with text files and then reboots the computer.

These text files are 10 bytes in size. The file names will be "You suckxxxx.txt" (where xxxx is a number from 1 upwards). All files contain this text:

you suck

After inserting the files, Liquid.Trojan reboots the computer.
