Symantec, an antivirus software manufacturer, announced Thursday that they had discovered a new Trojan horse that affects Sony PlayStation Portable hand-held gaming consoles. The program deletes required system files, preventing the device from starting correctly. Symantec has named the virus “ Trojan.PSPBrick ” . The Trojan is distributed as an archive file named “ EXPLOIT 2G PSP Team V1.RAR ” . The archive contains two files that must be manually copied to the PSP and run for the user to be infected. Once infected it deletes four files required for the PSP to boot: /vsh/etc/index.dat, /kd/loadcore.prx , /kd/loadexec.prx, and flash6:/kd/init.prx.
