Anyone ever heard of a virus named "Urchin"?

[L6steel]

I farted around and got it some how!
Ran my virus check after a lengthy www search and a virus called Urchin was detected. I deleted it. Thing that drives me nuts with Cox Security Suite anti virus program is once something is found it doesn't tell you the entire location of the thing. I wanted to know this so I could maybe figure out how I got it in the first place. Pc hasn't been actin odd or anything so maybe it hadn't activated? I don't know much about that kind of stuff. They should cut the fingers off turds that write those things! :grumpy:

I did some searching Mike but was unable to find any kind of Urchin Virus.

I did find referances to a program called Urchin that keep stats on website hits and stuff. Maybe it was something to do with that or some type of spyware and not an actual virus.

Mike,

I pretty much had the same search results are Mr. Washburn. I did some a vague reference at www.symantec.com, but nothing real specific for Urchin alone.

Also, I went to the website for my virus software, and found the following, but it doesn't really tell you much, which I found disappointing. I'm glad you were able to delete it.

It is a word virus. Does not sound like too big of a deal.

Judy,

It is quite impolite for you to refer to me as sir, my parents were married.

Once enlisted, always enlisted

Okie dokie, Artie! I hate being impolite. Hey, wait a minute. I didn't call you "sir," I called you MISTER Washburn. So get it straight, Mister.

Mister, sir equate to the same thing when you enlist in the military. Officers are addressed as mister or sir. Hence my previous statements reference to an officers lack of legitimacy

oops. My most sincere apologies and I retract my rather rude salutation. I only WORK in a military town, I ain't never been one.

Update: I just quizzed my boss' boss, who is a Marine Bird Colonel, Ret. He said that there is no "Mister" in the Corp. He then went through all the services and reviewed the yea/nay for salutations.

Obviously you were not a Marine. But I respect whichever service you were in.

Thanks for keeping me straight, Arthur.

p.s. Did I win that knife yet?
