Yep, I got it. Apparently it's a virus that's spread through Kazaa. So anyway, I'm not too worried. It doesn't seem incredibly dangerous. The most annoying thing about it is norton antivirus keeps on popping up talking about infected files. I was planning on reformatting soon anyway.

What does it do exactly? Is it like other backdoor worms?

Well what it does isn't terribly menacing either. Basically it just takes up hard disk space and every once in a while it produces pop up ads to questionable websites. Rather ingenious of the creator eh? He probably makes some cash from this. Heh, some porn banners popped up when my sister was on. I had a hard time explaining that one...

Ouch! I'd better tell my brother to stay off. My parents would be pissed if we got a virus. I wonder how mad they'd be if we got a porn virus...:uhoh:
