temp.scr appears to be a ASCII file of IRC nicknames
that MIRC (irc program) uses for data in query's.

temp2.exe is a window hiding program. mirc.ini calls
it with command line options that prevent it from
displaying anything (possibly when it is messaging the
people in the temp2.scr file).

I didn't look through all the Mirc.INI files to see
exactly whats going on here however.

One of our computers here recently became infected

never seen before.

When the computer starts up (winME) it opens up 2
copies of the
FreeExtractor prog that exctracts the following
files:
mirc.ini
mirc2.ini
mirc3.ini
pri.ini
20139.txt
gates.txt
temp.exe
temp2.exe
whvlxd.dat
temp.scr

gates.txt contains a lot of ip's / domains in it
that look to be possibly
infected hosts that this "program" is creating as
some of them are isp
accounts ie port200.hs.ip.com
temp.scr does not run (says not a valid win32 app)
