HELP Question about Viruses

[Atrocities]

Thanks, I appreciate the response and information. I was fishing to see if anyone else had had a simular experience.

I think it was MIRC from yestarday. So far I have followed all the recommendations to find the buger, but with no luck. I don't run Kazaa so the only other culprit could MIRC.

Thanks again.

Here is some info on the virus I am talking about:

W32.Spybot.Worm is a detection for a family of worms that spreads using KaZaA file-sharing and mIRC. This worm can also spread to computers infected with common Backdoor Trojan Horses.

W32.Spybot.Worm can perform different backdoor-type functions by connecting to a configurable IRC server and joining a specific channel to listen for instructions.

Note: The October 8, 2003 virus definitions contain a modified W32.Spybot.Worm detection which accounts for a minor variation discovered on October 7, 2003.
