kawaecki - nothing strange at all is going on.

The virus resides in .exe/scr files.

Some content providers package their content in .exe files.

The only way to get the content from the providers is to download and run the .exe file to install the content.

If the content provider is already infected (for whatever reason), then as soon as the .exe file is run on the recipient's PC the virus springs into life....

Not strange, just bloody annoying!
