nice catch. that looks like a nasty one and no mistake! is this limited to AIM?

the original infection is AIM based - however because this new stuff attempts to harvest various elements of already infected machines then splatter them out to uninfected users, theres lots more attack vectors this time round.

Multiple attack vectors seems to be the thing with this one PG im thinking they are adding on the Fly as well as it seems to be a stream as opposed to the normal Packet Dump type virus/trojan/malware Bittorrent seems to be just another Vector so far

I have encountered several sites using cookies...

UTMA
UTMB
UTMZ
NSC_cmphfs-fyu

I removed them from my mach., just out of curiousity, what do you think their intended purpose was?

I may know a little bit about firearms, but I'm a baby when it comes to computers.
