This virus is a nasty one. I haven't seen it mentioned here, but we have discovered that it connects back to the fileserver the infected person is connected to and then scans the shares, deleting every file of the types specified, in every share, that the infected person has the ability to delete.

Hi,
Files on the toaster will be set to size zero. Be very careful if your toaster contains source code as the virus attacks .cpp, .c and .h files.
