Oh... Sorry I didn't respond for so long, I utterly forgot about this.

@ fcmatt: Self extractor (poorly) disguised as game executable. I was careless, I know.

@ mokahless: Sent you PM.

@ davidblack: Well, I must say I feel honored, my English is good enough to pass as an English gentleman
I'm an ocean away, in Argentina (southern corner of South America). Thanks for the offer though Smiley

On a related note, hurray for eleuthria and his lightning fast response!

Aw I'll have to make even more new accounts. Oh well, it'll make for an even more satisfactory (if) successful backfire on the guy's "free money" plan.

Edit: Silly me not noticing they have IRC-based support before making an account. :facepalm:

Simply put, today when I started my comp the gpu was throttling like crazy. Apparently someone managed to infiltrate a bitcoin miner bot into my computer. I know I didn't do that willingly at least, not having just a "mere" Radeon HD4890, that won't get me anywhere with bitcoins. Also I've even identified when and how I did (unwittingly) install it, but that's another story.

So I figured I'd go make the guy's easy money plan backfire on him by reporting his bitcoin info to the community.
Among the scripts I've found on my system, there was two url's, I hope that's enough.

I can also submit the .exe file that installs all this stuff for analysis if required.


P.S.: The only rules I saw was "no posting illegal stuff" and "I understand I'll be restricted to the Newbies section", I am not aware if posting someone's bitcoin info is "illegal" or similar. In any case, the guy is a just lowly gpu processor cycles and bitcoins leecher, he doesn't deserve any special treatment.
