I've noticed several odd things about the virus, and the McAfee Dat that fixes it. 1) The virus seems to start a 'mmc', 'net', and other processes, which typically result in the crashing of explorer, and the eventual DoS of the machine. 2) The Dat that fixes the virus seem to be deleting .exe files almost at random. Is there any way to recover the lost .exe or are a lot of my programs really fubar'd now?
