Just got hit by a virus...

[Red Squirrel]

These viruses now are finding new ways in all the time. This one was not gotten by an windows Exploit (I'm behind a router), not through an email, and was not downloaded by kazaa or anything. trying to figure out the source. But basically it causes random programs such as my virus scanner to get these weird errors.

I think this may be an undiscovered virus, because whatever way it got in is pretty sneaky and not as obvious as attachments called virus.exe that people yet still open.

If anyone else gets these type of errors let me know, this is probably one I'll end up contacting symantec about so they can make a new definition. Maybe they can name the virus after me since I discovered it.
