Ya, ok, sorry, it was late for me, and I did skim a bit, but, for what it
is worth, I am not the one that double clicks on unknown files.
Was this file from somebody you knew? Personally? Not just someone 'from
the net'.
If so, go beat them up now.
Or, was this sent to you because your put your email address into
someones webpage for free porn to be sent to you (signing up voluntarily
for spam)?
Truly safe computing begins and ends with the user.
These programs (anti-virus, firewall, trojan cleaner, etc.) can only do
so much, as you noticed the firewall *did* do *its* job.
Do you run Ad-Aware from LavaSoft.com ? Or any other 'trojan' specific
program regularly?
Multi-angled attacks require multiple types of protection.
Anyway, good luck in the future
