Why?
Today I ran an application I got from the internet which wasn't a lot of use.
Several minutes later I saw that windows was accessing files on my virtual drive where the stuffplug files are stored. I thought it was just windows doing some kind of file indexing, but just now I saw that the application that I closed hours ago, crashed :o
I'm not sure as to wether this has been a virus, but it's better to prevent any further spreading.
Therefor I have closed down files.stuffplug.com untill I am 100% sure that the files are clean...
If you have downloaded any application from stuffplug.com, PLEASE run a virusscanner !

UPDATE:
The virus seems to be PE_PUCE.A as TrendMicro calls it. and according to TrendMicro it's non-cleanable.
If you know any more about this virus, PLEASE TELL ME!

Never heard of this virus before, from what I can see it's a low risk virus anyway, so don't panic.
If anyone is looking for more infomation on the virus and removal instructions they can be found here;
