Virus targeting P2P programs
 

I opened a file after scanning it with my Antivirus program and within a few minutes uTorrent opened by itself. This only happened once, but then LimeWire kept reopening for hours. I finally had to uninstall it in SafeMode b4 I could do a computer scan. I won't know if the AV program was successful until I reinstall LimeWire.

I'm not sure which virus it was, but these are the ones that my AV program (Windows Live OneCare) found:

Redfield Umatrix v1.06 for Adobe Photoshop.exe
VirusName: TrojanDropper:Win32/VB.GK

b.exe
VirusName: Backdoor:Win32/IRCbot!B809

Setup.exe (DigiEffects Fantazm 1.0.3.zip; also in GFX Alchemy 2.01.zip)
VirusName: Worm:Win32/Alcan.B

Redfield Umatrix v1.06 for Adobe Photoshop.exe
VirusName: TrojanDropper:Win32/VB.GK

The infected download files were all under .5 mb. I usually avoid the small file sized downloads, but the files I was searching for all fall into that range normally. There were also several items listed that Live OneCare was unable to scan. That doesn't necessarily mean that they are all bad files, but I'm going to check them out on the web.

Has anybody else had viruses or trojans that targeted just P2P programs?
