lol. I just read what this virus does

W32.HLLW.Deadhat is a worm with backdoor capabilities. It attempts to uninstall the W32.Mydoom.A@mm and W32.Mydoom.B@mm worms, and then it spreads to other systems infected with Mydoom. Also, it spreads through the Soulseek file-sharing program.

It looks like a worm removal tool to me. It reminds me of the NetSky "worm" that disables the MyDoom variants.

It's viruses fighting viruses! Total madness!

Better jump to Mac or Linux before it's too late, lol

Once you have a Mac, you'll never go back :frog:

All it does is remove the MyDoom... no other bad things??? It doesn't sound like such a bad thing........ unless there is something they haven't found yet, lol.
