... which I unfortunately hadn't predicted when I clicked the link. :D

After receiving the link from several infected contacts (who would then ask me what this virus was doing to their comptuer), I decided to update my virus definitions, download the file and scan it in order to read about it in Symantec's online virus encyclopedia. Of course I hadn't intended to execute the file, but to my horror it seemed to execute itself, and Norton remained idle. :D :$

Seems that Symantec didn't release virus definitions for this virus until March 6th, which explains why I was infected (at least partially; it didn't spread via messenger). However, I was able to remove the virus the day after using fully updated definitions... It discovered 4-5 infected files.8-|
