Thank you for noting that it's a Windows computer virus, not one of those menacing malware viruses the media tells everyone, even Mac and Linux users, are going to destroy their lives. Note that even though Macs and Linux boxes can certainly get viruses (http://virus.bartolich.at/virus-writing-HOWTO/_html/index.html http://virus.bartolich.at/virus-writing-HOWTO/_html/index.ht...), statistically speaking, they absolutely will not. There's something else going on with Windows (cultural, baroque system interface, something) that allows a flood of malware.
