Hate to tell you this, but it sounds like your infected

Gotta love viruses

[MrLinus]

Take a look at the Supova worm. Google is yer friend!

[WAnKeR]

but..nothing is wrong with any of my programs...maybe its just a teaser bug?

and its been on there for some time...i didnt take any action against it..because i was curiouse...its an old computer

[ali1]

I don't know but it could also be a joke virus..

[RoadClosed]

I bet you:

1. Use Kazaa
2. Don't run updated virus software

Because as Ms. Mittens pointed out, you have the signature of a specific virus.

You owe her a sweety pop.

[DjM]

What Antivirus program are you running? When was it last updated? Is it in fact running?
MsM seems to have the answer for you.

Wanker, did you even go to the link MsM provided you with? It clearly states that the message "Patch the leaks or the ship will sink" is the sig of the Supova worm! Correct me if i am wrong, but just because a virus is most commonly recieved through Kazaa doesnt mean you couldnt have gotten it somewhere else. What about the following do you not understand?

Because as Ms. Mittens pointed out, you have the signature of a specific virus.

From Symantec's Web site...

The W32.Supova.C.Worm displays the following message:

Title: Just checkin' the walls...
Message: Patch the leaks or the ship will sink

When was the last virus scan you did? just to see, scan again. If nothing comes up, update your virus definitions and scan again. If that still comes clean, then i'm out of ideas.
