    Very interesting.  I figured this would be on a Warez bot since many Warez
    kiddies trust the bots and since the filenames looked a bit suspicious.
    
    I was curious as to how the the author of original post knew the users
    were on IRC.

    That's not good.  Many of these infected people probably don't read
    BUGTRAQ, and will have no clue.  Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do
    without the help of IRC operators and administrators.

    Dianora: Thanks for verifying this.  Perhaps this information should be
    forwarded to IRC administrators of UnderNet and DALNet.  It would be
    a lot easier to get rid of this thing when the operators know who is
    infected.

    Is that in a regular task list or a low-level process viewer?  Programs
    such as BO and NetBus do not show up in the task list, but a less complex
    program/less experienced programmer might forget about this or just not
    know how to hide it.  If it is visible only in a low-level process viewer,
    Windows95 users will have to download one.  Windows98 users can install
    one optionally, and WindowsNT users have one installed by default.
    
    The user will probably have to kill the process before removing the file,
    or else they will get the message "This file is in use by Windows".
    
    I don't have a URL for a Windows95 process viewer since I don't use
    Windows95.  I'm sure several users would appreciate a post from anyone who
    might have one.
    
    It's too bad this has to happen, but what can we do...
