JPEG of Death.C?  What happened to A and B?  There can't be 3 trojans already...or can there be?

I kinda like the virus. You get it from using Internet Explorer or Microsoft Office 2003 and it installs WinVNC and Radmin so the author can watch what you're doing.
Is a little peeking such a bad thing anyway?

The probem is that with this stuff, more bad people can build armies of zombie PC's to do things like make spam centers, launch denial of service attacks, etc etc... all that stuff will affect non-windows users.
