Ok, this is strait from Mcafee. I virus name is W32. What happens is that someone gets into your system 3 ways. hacking it,cookies, or e-mail.It replaces you notepad.exe with its own version. then Notepad runs in the background sending information to some place else. Mcafee just came out with the defanition so Jack if you have't updated as of late you mite do so. Maybe the redo cookies. Just a sugestion. No softwear that you get is full poof. Someone always finds a way. I got the virus from here when I was useing explorer. It didn't happen on netscape. The Ip gos through 2 proxys that I found so far. I havent been able to trace from there because #2 is a privet proxy and you have to contact them and then your luck if they keep logs witch isn't required.
