Ok Cookie. You're doing a good job . I already filled in a 'Abuse report' @ Angelfire two days ago, but I'll leave it to you now . I like to hear how the calls with the hosting companies turned out. I'll talk to you about it on MSN.

Cookie, any updates?

Update:

Got a mail back from Lycos (owner of angelfire):

Thank you Lycos . .

Christ, he's up again :/

I don't think it really matters anyways. Why would you want something that is just annoying. I had to reinstall windows just to stop the automatic messages being sent to my contacts.

Because of all the feed back on the abuse part, anyone who sent them a complaint, got an email....this usually never happens....I got mine 4 days ago.

Hello,

I just want to provide some information on this program which I have done a viral analysis on.  It adds "C:\WINDOWS\Systray.exe" and "C:\Program Files\Media Access" as far as I can tell.  It appears as a Windows Installer Package but really is nothing more than a viral executeable.

I have submitted this file to McAfee AntiVirus Emergency Response Team (AVERT) and Symantec.  McAfee has responded by adding this to its "Potentially Unwanted Programs" list.  I feel it should be in there next virus definitions, they feel otherwise.  Symantec has yet to comment on the virus.

Anyway,
Just avoid it,
Dane .

Edit: My varient doesnt appear to do the same routine as Cookie's does.  Perhaps Cookie has a different varient.

The genuine executable is not located in C:\Windows but in C:\Windows\System32 (on Windows XP).

Youre right.. mine(win 2k pro) is locaded in C:\WINNT\System

Yep, Tochjo is right, all the files I listed were created in a monitored environment at the time of analysis.
