All that is a complete waste of time, since the trojan ('virus' if you
insist) has already done its work, and is self-limiting. (yes?)
Worse, such instructions a a distraction from the real problem, which is
to educate users on basic computer hygiene. The next version might not be
so benign!
And anti-microsoft rants dont help. It could just as easily be a perl
