Hey guys, I had a problem that I wanted some of your input on.


Recently, I discovered that my laptop was affected by the herss.exe trojan. For those of you who don't know, herss.exe is a USB trojan that infects from computer to computer whenever you plug in an infected USB device into a computer. I have two laptops, and what must have happened is that when I was putting files into my Ipod [files and treating Ipod as a USB, NOT music files using Itunes.exe.] and plugged in my Ipod to my second laptop, that is how I must've infected my computer.

However, most nights I plug in my Ipod to my PS3 and access my files through my PS3. Can this herss.exe trojan, or any USB trojan, infect my PS3 in the same manner? Kind of really worried about this new malware.

Thanks in advance.

Its a virus written for the Windows operating system so I would have to say no. 99% on this unless The Cloud has taken over and Skynet has become self aware.

Thanks AY. I was just reading up on some articles trying to research this thing and I found out the same information, that the exploit works only on Windows OS. Whew! But thanks for the affirmation. Haha, Skynet... Anyways, if you have some more information about phh.exe or phg.exe, please let me know. I have been looking online, and the information is not as plentiful as literature on virtumonde since this one's fairly new [I believe it was first spotted in March of this year.]

dont worry the PS3 has a different OS so there is probably no such thing as a virus on the PS3
