One of my computers is infected with this viral script. My teaching duties require that I have access to one of its set of helper t-cells. The compromised t-cells allow just enough work to keep the host functional. I would categorize Win** as a parasite but it's host rarely survives longer than three or four years due increasing need for resources. A parasite rarely does more than irritate its host. In Win**'s case there seems to be a constant supply of young hatchling hosts that are pre-infected when they leave the hatchery.

The badware on file does attract other badware and is generally unable to remove secondary badware completely. The remnants of everything what should have been deleted completely can be found in a file called registry.

Did you agree to the installation?
No. and I even did not have the chance to decline the EULA ...

Well, nice, I did it, maybe everybody using Linux should do it ... :-)

DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! :)
