[plug] [OT] Found new Windows virus

[Chris Caston]

Thanks,

I used to use NOD32 as well and found it to be very good. I only use AVG
now because having access to free updates cuts a lot of red tape when
dealing with hundreds of different customers, many of which won't buy
things over the internet.

I submitted the virus to clamav.sf.net and hopefully they will know what
to do with it.

thanks,

Chris Caston
