I am just talking to Mike on MSN and he apologizes for any trouble he may have caused with his obvioulsy infected system. It wasn't intentional. Unfortunately he can't post on the forum anymore, since everytime he tries his system gives him an error message.

Although the security tool LS mentions above says that the virus has been successfully removed from his system, it somehow really hasn't, so don't trust this tool alone and use other scanners/antivirus tools as well.

The first one I had didnt run the hard disk, so after 2 seconds it twigs. However, the hard disk running thing takes a little big longer to twig, even when you've seen the first one.

it randomizes the from address with someone in the address book
it sends a copy to all peeps in address book
it randomizes the subject (i got a confinsing one about csc4 the other day :P)
it attatches a file to do with the subject (it was the csc4 readme :P)
it makes a message (mabey one sent from this person before?)
it attatches itself!

when u open the email ure pc blows up (glad i have nav 2003 :P)
