Got a virus this afternoon, I'm unsure how it infected my machine cause I'm behind 2 firewalls and my main machine doesn't collect email. Panda killed it stright away but its asking for me to insert my windows cd to restore effected files because of a Windows File Protection Error. Seems to be spreading fast as first report according to Panda's website here (http://www.pandasoftware.com/virus_info/encyclopedia/ficha.aspx?iddeteccion=186876) says yesturday (29th June)

Just a warning to make sure your AV's are all up to date.

Doesn't look like it's spreading too fast to me.

My mistake its Adware.

Which is even more wierd cause I've only got about 6 programs installed all from legit sources. :confused:
