A contact on my list submitted the file to me (unaware it was a virus), he said his friend got it from a website claiming it added tons of sounds to MSN Messenger.  The "plugin" is just that, not a plugin at all.

I have been unable to find this plugin in the wild, so its basically a "Zoo" virus.
Don't use fancy words if you can't back it up with evidence!

You don't have the means to search for "wild" virusses, so don't say it is or isn't "wild". Furthermore, if it can be downloaded on a public site, chances are that it is spreading...

Also, the word wild-virus and zoo-virus doesn't exist! Every virus is "wild". There isn't such a thing as a zoo-virus. Wild is a term that indicates the spread-rate of a virus...

Furthermore, only virus companies have to means to estimate the spreading of virusses (and even they fail to do a proper estimate sometimes) and thus can give a proper value to the wild-term.

Also, you said in the reoprt that it was a Messenger Plus! plugin, now your saying it is an addon for MSN Messenger? :dodgy: ....
