Hi All,
 
I've had a look at this virus.
 
From what I can see it's a simple and relatively harmless VBScript. It SHOULD only work on the Windows platform. You can view it's code safely by saving it to disk and opening it into notepad.
 
DON'T RUN IT OR DOUBLE CLICK IT. THIS FILE TYPE IS INTERPRETTED BY WINDOWS SCRIPTING HOST AND IT IS EXECUTABLE.
 
You should come to no harm by simply deleting the file from your system, but be sure that you skip the recycle bin.
 
If you intend to keep the file for reference, I would suggest that you change the file extension to .txt , this will prevent the file from being executable.
 
Thanks
