Red face Great! New Virus: W32.Insane.dam

It got detected on my computer today by McAfee during the boot scan. During normal scanning nothing was detected.

Checked the McAfee and Norton sites, but they did not contain any useful information yet. It seems to be a rather new virus, no info on risk level etc.

Not new. First detected March 2001, believed to be dormant.
McAfee says current detections may be false: http://vil.mcafee.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=99753
