I can tell you the "thing" is running rampant on torrent and tube sites and on a few of the larger "password sites"

I do recall my virus software going off HERE months back but I can not recall what exactly was triggering it.

I've been trying to figure out exactly what the exploit IS and where it is coming from for the past few months, but so far no luck, all I know right now is whatever it is is not working the way it is supposed to work, but it does lock up the box I use to hunt for our content & paysite passes. (a quick CTRL ALT DELETE and killing Acrobat fixes the issue normally though) and from ALL the various scans I've done on the box there is NO signs of ANY kind of infections.

I think you are referring to the spread4u incident
