I got it. It is nasty. You have to reinstall window and all apps to clean it up. It trashes mp2, mp3, jpg, and all windows scripts. It can be recognized by looking for the string "Khaled Mardam-Bey" in the data stream going into your mail server.
illu5i0n, I want to ensure that people recognize that Khaled Mardam-Bey is the author of mIRC, and not of the virus (of course, I am guessing he isn't the author of the virus.. iirc, someone else has put their own name in the thing). mIRC is used only as a transport mechanism for the virus. -- Seth Arnold | http://www.willamette.edu/~sarnold/ Hate spam?
