    Seems this little bugger is A VisualBasic6 program that can spread through e-mail and ICQ once a machine is infected. It's a pretty nasty bug, so make sure none of the idiot users that you deal with can access it! Looks like someone got smart with this one.... if it gets its hooks in, it will disable and delete anti-virus and firewall software.....

    We got infected with something like that, can't remember that name of it now, could of been that one, took the network admin hours to get rid of it... every time he thought he had it it'd pop up somewhere else. Got a patch for it eventually n haven't seen it since.

    This may help a few people ..........


    Start/settings/ctrl panel/add+remove progs/windows setup/accessories/details/ your looking for windows scripting host here, and you want to uncheck the little bugger beside it, which will supposedly prevent a couple of nasty buggers infecting your system or worse still network :mad:

    Any confirmation on this? Or has anyone else heard anything, I know these guys have
