From what I gather, what the virus does to the webpage is set up a line of javascripting (much like what I use once in a while for the scrolling text at the bottom of my mails) to auto-send and auto-execute the virus file when you open a webpage. From what I can gather, it basically turns the infected computer into a remote host, telling it to share your main drive with anyone who knows what to look for... much like a backdoor. As long as you keep your virus scanner up to date (which you should be doing anyway) and possibly also download the fix tool for this virus, you should be fine. I wouldn't concern myself all that much about it really... just keep everything up to date and let your software take care of things. ¤]\[][G}{T§TÖ®]v[¤ http://NightStorm.isyourgod.com/ NightStorm_Draco_@hotmail.com NightStorm_Draco@creedlist.com NightStorm@isyourgod.com I've seen the wicked fruit of your vine, Destroy the man who lacks a strong mind Human pride sings a vengeful song Inspired by the times you've been walked on My stage is shared by many millions, Who lift their hands up high because they feel this We are one We are strong, The more you hold us down the more we press on What if you did?
