Exclamation New VB Virus!

Watch out for a new macro virus written in VB. It deletes all files named...

.exe
.ini
.cfg
.bat

All these files are found in the main Windows directory (C:\WINDOWS). Your PC is then useless until the user formats their hard drive.

Do you have any more details? A name or unique identifier of some kind?
