Sorry for the offtopic.
Well, if I was you, I shoud be very worried about this virus, as this worm
send information stored in your computer to an IRC server. This information
includes ALL password stored in windows, machine name, user names, I also
think it uses a keylog program to send information you entered in the
computer, but I'm not sure about that. So it should be a good idea to change
every password you have entered in your computer, for your security.
