Big icons make an odd bitmap

This virus had the largest icons I have seen so far at the largest being a 256x256 icon. The icon is for Thunderbird mail software.





This also seemed interesting that a bitmap if the exe file showed the icons. Don't normally see that.


My Ass.exe

Another mildly interesting virus. The micro folder icon would actually be pretty convincing for anyone not showing extensions of known file types (the larger folder icon is pretty bad though). Always shut that off is my reccomendation.


And I liked Trend Micro's naming.

Quiet, they're listening

Looks like this malware has some mic funtions in it to turn on and off the microphone.
