I can send you some pigs by airfreight. I promise to train them first
to do the dancing, but I need to know whether you prefer salsa or
tango. Foxtrott is not available, sorry, but I can offer the Slow
Waltz for a special price for you, my friend (this is a reference
I'm willing to explain only if you move the thread to TBOT).

There's a vital part of information missing IMHO:

RuSpy.A does not spread automatically using its own means. It needs an
attacking user's intervention in order to reach the affected computer.
The means of transmission used include, among others, floppy disks,
CD-ROMs, email messages with attached files, Internet downloads, FTP,
IRC channels, peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing networks, etc.

So, you have to execute the trojan somehow. Given that brain.exe (or
alternatively, a fully updated virus scanner) is in use, I find these
trojans a neglectible risk.

RuSpy.A  is a Trojan that obtains the usernames and passwords from certain
programs, such as ICQ, Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Outlook, and The Bat!,

Hi Cricket,

Tuesday, August 08, 2006 
you let us know -possibly edited- :
 RuSpy.A  is a Trojan that obtains the usernames and passwords from certain
 programs, such as ICQ, Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Outlook, and The Bat!

I guess that doesn't affect users of the Pro version, due to the OTFE.
Is this right?

Probably not. Or, it might prompt you for your OTFE password/token at
weird times.
