O.P. happy new year virus
Hi,

Today a friend of mine sent me by msn following text:

Happy New Year :o) with a link from lycos.fr happynewyearr,email=, when I opened it it asked me to run the command prompt, I just denied it

So it's a worm

So virus is not installed?

thx

if you denied it, it probably did not run. but a full system scan wouldn't hurt

well, antivirus found ircbot.cor in my temp files, did run a test from http://www.jasons-toolbox.com/ and everything seems ok according to the test, it's a bat file, and I first checked the batfile to see what it does :)
