This little begger sits in the root of the C drive called IO.EXE and claims to be a Microsoft file. It's a downloader that attempts to add itself to the startup section of the registry and then download a 'proper' virus on reboot.
Microsoft Antispyware alerted me to it's attempt to write to the registry, for which I refused permission... A spyware scan gave the machine a clean bill of heath, and then a scan with McAfee located the file and allowed me to delete it with confidence.
I think I got it from a *very dodgy* website this morning... I opened up a RAR file and attempted to read the 'Readme.html' file, which then redirected all over the place!!
Be carefull out there!
