Patch the hole or the ship will sink

[optoman]

Thats what I got when I started up WinXP. Do I have a virus? It appeared and then disappeared. I noticed it also had a little kitty cat icon.

Any ideas?

You ran something called cheese-burger.exe without scanning it first? No wonder viruses spread so easy.

No, I didn't run it. It was a worm. I found it running in the task manager. I actually got it from Kazaa. No, I wasn't down loading porn or anything like that. I used Kazaa to help the fiance and I pick wedding songs for our wedding next month. Half of the songs that were on the bands play list we had no clue what they were, so we decided to get them from Kazaa. This is actually my first encounter with any kind of virus.

You got me on that one. There was also a .ps file that the anitvirus software got rid of. Thats what I get for not having it running.

Actually you did run it. A song that has the name of song.mp3.exe is probably not legit.
