Hi all first time here and i'm only here because someone pointed this thread out to me.

As one of many that were infected i can honestly tell you that the win32.polipos.A worm is a major threat to systems. It was shutting down networks all around the world. I had 400+ exe files on my system infected and yes my Anti Virus Program picked it up and placed all the files into the quarantine folder. At that time i had no idea about Dr Web so i took the only option i could and that was to format my hard-drive.

Now most of the files that were infected were DAZ files and on the day my Anti Virus program found them i had just downloaded another file from Daz.

The Worm/virus is actually one that sat in the memory, on my computer for sometime and the only reason i knew i had it was because my AV company like most others had only made an update for it on the 4/25/2006 so in fact many of you that were infected by it could have had it already on your system and not known about it because the AV companies had no update to find it till the day you got the upgrade.

So in fact you shouldn't be blaming DAZ but your AV companies for not being up on this one since it was around for some time.

I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions -- but I don't always agree with them.
