Ah, OK Khai.

I'm out of my depth. I have no idea what Gnutella is. My knowledge of worms/trojans/parasites etc. is extremely limited (I understand the basics, not the details).

I do understand that opening channels (w/o my consent) is a bad thing....

From what I've read above, this worm is contracted by installing (and running) an already infected .exe/.scr file.

Is this correct? Or there other ways the pest can proliferate?

Just trying to get an idea of what it's all about....

Cheers,
Diolma

(and thanks for being patient with me)
