The cough virus is different than other viruses. Instead of destroying the PC spy data and paralyze all makes this on a nerve of Garry 's Mod player. If one has captured the virus can suddenly starts all friends in the friends list on Steam a message with the text " * cough *".
This is then sent spam that repeatedly . In addition, you can hear in the game itself all the time the sound of coughing men , what will probably live off many players to the nerves.
The hacker probably wants to draw attention with this action on an existing vulnerability of Garry 's Mod . And deservedly so : If a player comes to an infected server, it is immediately infected with the virus , and vice versa - when an infected player goes on a "clean " server is downloaded to the server , the virus also . If a hacker would have used this method for a malicious virus would probably have been fatal damage . That's why the players the sandbox title can rejoice: Thanks to the virus an update for Garry 's Mod was today, on April 20, 2014 published that these vulnerabilities should close .
The inventor and developer responded two days ago , on April 18 to the first advent of the virus and assured on Twitter that they will fix the vulnerability quickly, which also happened today.
