Summary
Storm and I and a few other folks discovered this, just wanted to add a few notes. #gibson key is "gibson". The filename MAY be randomly assigned, haven't confirmed. The file appears to only contact efnet.demon.co.uk. Examination of the exe seems certain that the file is a DDos utility of some type, but I really don't know enough about examining files in hex editors to say much more. Sweet screen saver, wish it didn't have the little present embedded...
Spyware or Trojan
Pros
Cons
Summary
This screensaver creates a file called csrsc.exe and connects to a bot controlled IRC channel #gibson on efnet. The purpose of this has not been determined but is being looked into. At current time the file is not detected by AV software nor Spyware removal apps.
The file was found by a user after noticing irregular hits in performance. I urge CNET to remove this screensaver until further info on the purpose of csrsc can be determined
That's all it does?
