Would this be classed a Worm or a Trojan? In search of other information I happened upon this forum and this thread and had to lend what I knew. Yes, I had it. My version I felt was so below the belt, even for the creeps making a living at this type of code. (Lets face it, they are the same ones that are on LW looking for/perpetuating kiddie porn....and likely kick dogs) Being semi new to LW and very new to the 'winrar' comp. format, the file size cue deceived me totally. By the sounds of it I may have gotten off easier then some here. Likely due to my stubborn curiosity as apposed to actual knowledge. That actually led me to a few other tid bits. **To Note**: Be aware of Actual anti-virus apps. on LW. That's the kicker! and/or Their respective '******s'!!! Hiding in the form of a setup file in anti-virus.zip is one thing but a lot of key genskey gens are right about the size of this virus. Don't wait for your auto protect to catch up and do a specific file scan on everything you get for free. **Also** This virus 'can' give you a false poss. when updating your definitions to your primary and secondary scanner (no joke), so having 3 or 4 'different types geared to slightly different things can pick them out. Even the light ****** freebie can show a differing result, that's the cue. This is strange - for me it was "NERO" that "FOUND" these inevitable files and it wasn't due to it's on board VS. LOL I was simply making a compilation CD and looking to fill some space at the end. As I'm clicking through the file tree I come across this folder that was filled with files that matched perfectly my search/download behavier on LW. There was 'Almost' no reason to question them at all. 585 of them. That # did tweak to me as "NORTON 2007!!!!" (obtained directly through the Norton download site) said that it had dealt with them! Well it didn't. It just saw fit to make them invisable now, 100% of the time. Till I'm browsing through Nero instead. It was nutty I tells ya!
