From my understanding of virii, which admittedly is limited , if the virus is deleted then it can't spread. If people delete any files that are 851.6 KB, run a virus/malware scan, and don't DL them anymore - then the virus will die off or at least slow the proliferation down to perhaps tolerable levels.

It's like an active virus detection - we know the signature (for this one virus at least) is 851.7 KB, no matter what the name is. If it is deleted then it can't spread under anyname. When people see "VIRUS" they will, hopefully, snap to, and work for us, i.e. deleting the file and running AV. The majority of users don't read the forums, but they do see the search results - often at that. Let's use that as our forum for disseminating the info, that's what this network is really about anyway, isn't it?

Pehaps it is just wishfully thinking, but i will fall back on the time honored argument "it can't hurt"
