Yep...it's a bugger for sure! Norton caught it on my system only after I did the live update. It had already infected 3 files. It didn't get to the server, luckily.

Norton AV couldn't fix the files as of yesterday, and could only quarantine. I'll try the "panda" site to see if they can be fixed. If not, my computer guy says a re-format may be needed! Ugh!

I just got that virus for the FOURTH time today. Fortunately I cleaned it out over at HouseCall. I am wondering if this virus is part of some sort of terrorist Internet Attack. I heard that a lot of BellSouth users couldn't get online today.

Annoying! I finally got it cleaned out by doing it manually (directions on PANDA). There is a file that didn't show up on Norton AV that also had to be deleted.

Every one should be sure to change their passwords after getting rid of the nasty thing.

I will never understand the reasoning that some very smart people use, to develop these things.

BTW...I enjoy your stuff.
