So I caught this 'Worm Alcra.B' bug and as I cleanse my system (using lots of bleach), I'm curious about what it does and why. Somehow there are HUNDREDS of zipped files with the worm signature, which are named as all kinds of media and software of the kind one might look for on limewire. I only ever downloaded one of them (big mistake). So I'm wondering- are these just copies of the virus which I've been inadvertently sharing? Is it all just a way of clogging the network? Seems pretty bizzare.

I don't know much about this technical stuff but I do love limewire and I hate to see its power used for evil instead of good.
