I hope this is the correct place for this!
I've just discovered this worm on my computer, BUT the strange this is, it only infected certain exe files in what I had labeled as my "Tools" folder. And to beat all it was these,
3Dmark05 and 06, PCMark05, Aqua Mark, CPUID, MBM, PC wizard, Prime95, Roxio, etc. etc.
Anyone have any thoughts or ideas here? This has freaked me out.:curse:

Well, have you gotten rid of the infected files?

After you do, boot up in safe mode and do a surface scan chkdsk to make sure. When it comes to viruses i recommend DIY, antivirus software can escalate things at times.

Yes, it was not anything "major" just the files it choose that is bothering me.
