Virus Definitions October 12, 2001 <--- it isn't a new virus so whatever antivirus program you are running probably will find and remove it.

I have no idea exactly what this virus is supposed to do once it makes itself @ home. All Symantec had was a play by play of how it integrates itself into your machine.

btw, I can't go back to doublecheck on the name, but whomever you are, from Germany, name beginning with an "M", I love your dragon pic!
