if it was a merc job it looks like its a shotgun attempt to erase such files from computers.
interesting tactic. seems if this trojan was funded by anyone in the recording industry they might have paid more for a more focused piece of software. -------------------- |

anyone using a default download path or common download program deserves this.
same goes for people that don't organize what they download outside of the download directory as soon as it is complete -------------------- WAIT. I'm not finished.

And I can't wait to see what happens with this if they ever find who programmed it. Should be pretty interesting. -------------------- Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!
