FYI.
It's not a virus I tried to run, but running wine(991212) on slink,
when I was checking if every program would run, iexplore.exe took a very long time to start up, and after it started, the files in c:/windows were changed so badly that when I started the dual boot in windows, I found a very very clean desktop.
Has anyone experienced this?
It could be due to my Japanese version of Windows, but I can't find a reason why iexplore.exe would want to change the filenames of directories for storing desktop and application things into $!$!$!$!.app and $!$!$!$!.dsk and that kind of thing.
