    I just had a strange thing happin My virus detction just now found a Virus W32/Generic.Worm!p2p In the Hi Jack this file and it deleted the virus as well as HiJackthis. I have had HiJackThis on here for some time with no problum. I have done all kinds of scans From my Mcafee to Etrust House call and all came up clean. I have all kinds of stuff on here to protect aginst this kinda thing. I noticed that while looking up the worm it said it is spreed by File sharing such as Kazza and such of wich none of them i us. Any Idea why HiJack this was infected with it ?
