* bot.exe is a virus Harding virus 1.0.*
I removed the Attachments.
If you want to help the WinMX community how about creating a chat client that doesn't include a virus in it.

I did a search online for Harding virus 1.0 and only found a virus called Tonya Harding Virus: Turns your .BAT files into lethal weapons.
Tonya Harding Viruses - Turns your .BAT files into lethal weapons. Your CD-ROM drive randomly ejects in an attempt to bash your knee
Is that the same virus as Harding Virus 1.0?

I can't remember too much of the details now, I think it logged me off and on , display properties windows popped up, display properties type sized windows starting flashing on and off , it said virus Harding virus 1.0 at top of the display properties windows , a small grey box window popped up telling me it couldn't open VB(S?)6basic(something?).DLL. it asked me to click to cancel it , i clicked cancel and it stopped. I might have had to manually reboot my PC. or I alt, ctrl & del to stop the bot.exe.
I scanned it before I opened it and after with my AV, my AV said I was virus free, Real time protection didn't detect it when i opened it, I also did a online scan too it said I was virus free too.
I don't have the bot.exe anymore I deleted it.
Sorry I can remember more details.

I also had the samething happen before and I had reinstall the drivers and software for my ATI graphics card. I'm just still worried that I'm still infected, even tho all the virus scans I did say i'm virus free.
