Troj/Yusufali-A is a Trojan for the Windows platform.

Troj/Yusufali-A analyzes the title of the window in focus looking for various words. Some of the words Troj/Yusufali-A searches for are:

• sex
• teen
• xx
• Phallus
• jegger
• Priapus
• Phallic
• Penis
• Exhibitionism

  If Troj/Yusufali-A finds one of these words in the title bar it will minimise the current window and display the following message in English along with other messages in other languages:

  YUSUFALI: Know, therefore, that there is no god but Allah, and ask forgiveness for thy fault, and for the men and women who believe: for Allah knows how ye move about and how ye dwell in your homes.

What is the difference in porn and the koran?

[Tijeras_Slim]

Say hello to Rushdie in the safehouse martin. :)

Then I'm presuming that a 'jegger' is the thing that used to occupy the White House in the 90's.

"Priapus" is a sex-related word from Victorian times. You gotta laugh...the Muslims can figure out computers, but are using keywords from a hundred years ago! (Why am I put in the mind of the Amish Laptop?

It looks like it's new, but it's a trojan, not a worm. To get infected you'd have to download a file with it inside.

Oh, and don't fool yourself about them "learning". With all fo the IT offshoring going on, many people in Pakistan and India (which has a substantial Muslim population) have become highly skilled programmers. There are ALREADY live viruses in circulation that have originated in that part of the world, so it was only a matter of time until an Islamonazi variant appeared. This one does no damage if you shut down the porn site and is easy to remove, so it's not much of a "threat". An Islamonazi worm, set up to destroy data, could do far more economic damage.

That reminds me of the time in mid 1999 when the Millenium thing was really heating up. My husband and I went to a Chinese restaurant with some friends where the grandpa was doing the checkout at the cash register and computing everything using an abacus.

My computer geek friend asked the old man, "Hey .... is that Y1K compatible?" The grandson behind the counter started laughing hysterically. Apparently he got the joke, but the grandpa (who is probably ESL :-) didn't.

K: He said his name was Salbass. Bass, Jerry. He substituted one fish for another!

J: First of all it's Salman you idiot, not salmon.

[KarlInOhio]

Please don't post erotic pictures like that, I'm a single guy. ;-)

That was nothing. There are some Saudi porn sites featuring full facial nudity.

"Hey .... is that Y1K compatible?"

[Pylon]

Full facial?!

Oh boy, it's gonna be a loooooong day!

[Dr.Deth]

At least they used a synonym.

[Fierce Allegiance]

Thankfully, the only thing I ever had to use a slide rule for was defense angainst my older and younger brothers

[Dr.Deth]

I'm still ok if they managed to overlook 'hentai'.

Yep...ironically, I came across my fathers Pickett in a trunk the other day....reminded me of how he used to lament "always know how to do the math longhand...because that calculator ain't gonna do you a bit of good at 30,000 feet with the plane going down and your batteries are dead".

I still think of him each time I pickup my HP-48S....

The really sad thing is: I still got off on it. :)
