I've always thought it's best to scan everything I download. Thus, when I downloaded the eq emu files very recently (actually yesterday afternoon, before your post was made, which would make the virus' time on your system two days, not a week) , I found no viruses in the files after doing my routine check (I check for new definitions daily, as well.) I think is that the virus came from a file not directly hosted by eqemu, because as far as I can tell their files on sourceforge are clean (wouldn't sourceforge be in your recently visited sites list if you downloaded the eqemu files?). Also, the virus itself is rather old and, as far as I can tell, has been in popular antivirus programs for roughly 2 - 7 months (also, the virus itself consists of only two files according to several av site listings, an exe and dll). I don't want to cause any trouble, but I just thought that this information might be useful in finding the real origin of this virus.
