There are anti virus News Groups specifically for this type of discussion.
microsoft.public.security.virus
alt.comp.virus
alt.comp.anti-virus
There are multiple infectors there and I really don't want to spend time discussing each
individual infector. I will say they are a combination of viruses and adware Trojans.
