I noticed today that I had an alert window pop up saying that my computer was protected against a virus, Trojan.Peacomm. Has anyone else had an alert like this on their computer,if so has it been recently?

Yeah i got the alert yesterday, my norton thing was flashing and now it has stopped..but it said i was unprotected.

I'd post a picture of a Trojan condom right here, but I'm at work.

My virus protector alerted me that I may have picked up the Trojan Virus,
but then said something about "we'll protect you".

Then came back a couple minutes later and said something like "The Trojan is dead"!

Prolific malicious code spreading through spam
Trojan.Peacomm is spreading itself via spam containing executable attachments. The spam messages appear to be harmless news snippets reporting on current affairs. Antivirus signatures are available; some antispam technologies will stop the messages.
