Poor knock off. Very basic. Discretely hidden in the startup items. :-/ Remove the .exe and the key-logging, email address engine and backdoor are useless. (2 .dll's) http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/vinfodb.html/ just for a laugh. Mac users would enjoy it very much. http:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Will give you a far better idea about bugbear. Neat little virus removal tools also. My isp lifted its game after klez, I hope that many more have. A virus checker worth its cost should have picked bugbear before reaching your hdd. Sadly all these virii show how poorly microsoft and joe average check and maintain their systems. As a mac user I do feel snug, in my classic OS security blanket. Never snug enough to think it can't happen, just highly unlikely. :( Passing this strain is possible between mac and a unprotected pc. >> >>>the pickle wrote: >>> >>>No, the address is made up of parts.
