As a user and subsciber of Norton Internet Security 2008, I complained to Norton about the XP antivirus 2008 after I got hit with it, as to why their product didn't even twitch when the virus installed itself on my system, and they sent me the above link which maybe useful to somebody.
I believe that I picked up the infection from this website http://softporal.ucoz.ru/ as a popup appeared telling me that I have virus installed on my system.
The new Microsoft Browser IE 8.0 beta 2 which I have been testing will not let this popup load so this should stop anymore driveby loading of viruses from dodgy websites.
