Anybody had any dealings with Gumblar?
(OP)
I've been hearing more and more about the Gumblar virus. Anybody had to deal with it? I'm trying to find out what the symptoms are if you visit an infected server.

Well I do know that you got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em. You should also know when to walk away and know when to run.
It's also helpful if you never count your money when you're sittin' at the table. After all, there'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.
Thanks, everyone! I'll be here all week! Be sure to tip your waitress.

Scroll up in the article for info on how Gumblar operates. From the looks of it, the only true way to tell if you're infected is to analyze the sqlsodbc.chm file in the c:\windows\system32 folder. There may, or may not, be other symptoms.
Hope this helps.

Either it's not doing as much damage as they thought it was going to do, or it's hiding better than they thought it could. The latter is not good since it steals your credit card numbers if it infects your home pc's. Update your anti-virus software gang, and start using Firefox if you don't.
