    Ehhm, I may have misunderstood you but you are describing something that's a feature of Windows (webfolder view in explorer), NOT a virus.

    Which virus are you referring to: VBS.Terrorist, Redlof.A, or something completely new?

    Hmmm MsMittens.. He says it's also on the Operating System CD.

    This can mean 2 things:

    1) It's the feature I described above; regular windows feature
    2) He's using a warez CD
