Wobbling Virus

[Matthias Zeller]

I just received an Executable from a friend. McAfee popped up and told
me it is infected by a/the Wobbling Virus. I could not find any info
about this on the Web. Is "Wobbling" a category or a specific virus?

Any help welcome.

Hi Matthias...

According to the information I have, this is actually a joke program that was
originally identified as a trojan. When run, what it does is make the open
windows on your desktop wobble as if in an earthquake. Apart from that, it
doesn't do anything. (As far as I am aware.)

Since joke programs can't be disinfected, the best thing to do with it would
be to delete it.

Hope this helps -

But... Does it make it the machine shake as the Earthquake pinball
machine does?

erm -

which part of "it's a joke program" didn't you understand? :)

For the record - it's not a virus. (Now watch someone prove me wrong :) )

Incidentally, there seems 2B sumthing RonG with UR spellchkr.

Merry Xmas -
