| Have you ever actually experienced this miserable SOB?

Since it first cane out. I even wrote a utility for it but Atri's utility is better.
I have wathing this tRojan ant morphed version for quite some time.

| I have, and I can tell you that is is FAR more invasive and

You got a newer variant. It now can use RootKit and other techniques to hide as well as
peer utilities to keep itself on the OS as aself preservation technique.

| Sun has since patched the JVM to fix this but the sheer numbers

| thing to spread in such a manner that it likely wound up on as many machines
| (or more) as any self-respecting "significant" virus.
