Unhappy Virus on Xolox already?

There seem to be a load of files cropping up with the format:
!!!filename_mp3.asf
and
XX-setup-XXfilename.exe/.rar/.zip
which bear no resemblence in size to the file they are obviously trying to look like. This looks remarkably like the Benjamin worm that cropped up on Kazaa. I downloaded one of the files but Norton couldn't find anything in it.
Have I unwillingly infected myself?

Comments appreciated.

Regards,

David

Avoid files beginning with ! ( exclamation ). This is pointed out in many other threads and is just the bogus files people spread usually when not many search results for that file are returned. The bogus file is usually spam/porn/virus or a combo

I do believe the next build(s) will filter it out. Along with other things like popups while browsing outside xolox etc.
