These things are pretty nasty.

The traffic on my server has also increased because of it. There is one out there that uses the person's computer to try and attack web servers. The attack is for a Windows based server (PowWows.com is Linux). But the virus doesn't know and still tries to load it against my server. It is generating thousands of Page Not Found errors on the server!

In addition to Anti-Virus, everyone needs to have a Firewall like ZoneAlarm on their computer.
