W32.Spybot.Worm is a detection for a family of worms that spreads using KaZaA file sharing and mIRC. This worm can also spread to computers that are infected with common back door Trojan horses and network shares that make use of weak passwords.

W32.Spybot.Worm can perform different backdoor-type functions by connecting to a configurable IRC server and joining a specific channel to listen for instructions. This worm often includes key logging software as well as performing Denial of Service (DoS) attacks on various websites. Users should immediately change all passwords if this worm is found on their computer.

Looks like this COULD cause some problems... COULD

So even just clicking on the link will send the virus to your computer? I used the virus removal tool and said the virus couldn't be detected...:S

No if you click on my link above you will not get the virus. The link above is SIMILAR to the link but i edited the tt from the http and another bit.

Clicking on the link takes you to a site. How do you think the information from the site gets to your computer?? It downloads...

Sorry, i'm half-awake. Just making sure...

Does clicking on the original link (not the one that was posted above my first post) send the virus? :S

Thats ok, didnt mean 2 sound rude

As far as i know it will send the virus because to access the page your computer has to download certain files (if somebody can explain this better/correct me please do so)

A .pif would need to be downloaded wouldn't it? I don't think it could be executed without the website's information just being passed on to your computer. As I said before, I used the virus remover tool and had nothing detected and no one has gotten the link from me.

Some variations arent detected by the removal tool. And the removal tool just worked for a friend of mine on the hp://home.earthlink.net/gallery10/omg.pif version so if you have that one give the removal tool from mess.be a try
