I do not know what it is but it tried to access a file on my computer tonight. My firewall would not let it access my file. Does anyone know what this is?

I just downloaded new virus definitions for my Norton, and no threat was shown with that specific name (although it may have another alias).

It is one of the more recent viruses/worms/trojans that have been flying around the internet. It crashed a power plant. Much has been written about it and Microsoft has a patch for it.
Be glad that your software wouldn't let it in!

Good grief... is that what it was? I thought the authorities had nailed a teen for creating it. Believe me Ed, I am very thankful.

Thanks for the help you two.
