Clever virus

You may recall recently, that I had some virus troubles with Vista, where reading university banned me from the network temporarily while my virus was on my machine… Well, I perform a full system scan the other night, and Avast finally got rid of it. I was shocked however to find where the trojan was hiding.

The bloody trojan not only was able to surpass MS's 'most secure OS ever (bullplop)', but was also able to install itself into an .iso of MS XP Pro, so that everytime I tried to install the burned image of XP Pro, on Virtual Machine or as a native and lone copy, the trojan wa installed too.

ircbot-virus.gif Picture shows Avast's report showing that the virus was found on the Virtual Machine's own virtual hard disk.
Grahh! I still firmly use openSuse linux for day-to-day stuff, like internet banking which I'll never trust Windows to do… ever…
