Don't post binaries to alt.comp.virus!
When you think it's a virus then send the file to an anti virus company!

BTW, you *are* infected!!!

Yeah,

aren't you also wondering where NewsSniffer, VirusPatrol etc have gone to ?
There is also a Norton thingy doing some checking, don't know the name of
that one......

This weeks free advise : It's better to disable Plug & Play in your BIOS.

Please don't send binaries to these newsgroups. It wastes time and
space. Look at the thread called INFO: A Guide to the Windows newsgroups
