Cititi cu atentie mesajele de mai jos. Se pare ca nici in bazele de date (fie ele chiar si open-source) nu mai poti avea incredere. :). Lasand gluma la o parte, se pare ca apar troieni pentru windows ce se deghizeaza in procese cu denumiri ce aduc cu serviciile instalate de firebird sau interbase. Dar denumirile nu sunt identice si de aia pot fi depistati. Partea buna a lucrurilor este ca asta dovedeste ce popularitate incep sa aiba produsele open-source si pe Windows. Asteptam cu interes troienii M$DE si MaiSQL :) Tiberiu 'fan firebird care face 20 de anishori' ATUDOREI PS. Pentru cine nu o cunoaste, Ann Harrison este tipa de la IBPhoenix, firma care ofera suport pentru firebird si Interbase, fosta angajata la Borland (datorita ei a devenit Interbase 6 open-source) si mai e si sotia lui Jim Starkey (cel care a scris ceea ce a devenit Interbase- BTW.....asta se intampla acum 20 de ani :)). Daca sunteti interesati si de putina istorie a produselor open-source (de genul: persoanele normale canta la dus, Jim Starkey are revelatia unui motor de baze de date multi-generational care mai este competitiv si astazi chiar daca a fost intial conceput pentru DEC iar acum este portat pe arhitecturi de 64 de biti ; sau despre cum se pot face economii substantiale la factura de gaze folosind incalzirea cu calculatoare, mai putin furni- zorul de gaze care a schimbat contorul de vreo doua ori pina s-a convins de veridicitatea citirilor - nici nu indraznesc sa subliniez faptul ca si acest concept a ramas valabil si in zilele noastre: nu shtiu daca oamenii s-au imbogatit de pe urma bazelor de date, dar un patent bine plasat atunci le-ar fi adus in ziua de azi,in care procesoarele Prescott si Athlon se apropie sau si depasesc granita de 100W putere disipata, o avere care l-ar fi facut pe amicul "Kill^H^H^H^H Bill" sa faca instant icter.), deci, doamnelor, don'soarelor si domnilor, pentru cultura dvs. generala va recomand: http://www.ibphoenix.com/main.nfs?a=ibphoenix&page=ibp_history Tiberiu 'DEC->Groton->Ashton-Tate->Borland->Open source community' Atudorei ----- Forwarded message from "Ann W.

Note that the names aren't quite right (InterBase Server not ibserver). Mr. McGee says that's what he saw and that he found nothing on the system with either a Borland or a Firebird name attached. He has since removed the files but wonders if some Trojan horse is using the InterBase name... Thoughts?

The normal names are IBGuardian and IBServer, but ... You may find a folder under Program Files called Borland. Under Borland you should find an InterBase directory containing the uninstall information. You might look at those directories to find a clue as to how they appeared. To the best of my knowledge, Borland does not do automatic installations on random workstations, though the database is distributed with Delphi.

I did a few more checks and did not find a Borland folder or any of the InterBase files. I ran a search of the computer for any files which matched the ones in your install, and was unable to locate them. I then traces the running processes back to some keys in the registry and some files in the windows/system folder. I have removed them, along with a scan of the entire system for anything related, and found nothing. Thus I believe my system is clean. This is one of the reasons I hate windows and prefer unix. I would suggest that you have somebody start checking to see if one of the hacker groups has started using your software name to hide a new trojan or backdoor. Sorry to be a bother, and take care.
