Hi all!
Today the program TRICKLER_3210.EXE installed itself on my computer.
It tried to write to the boot record which Norton alerted.
It tried to connect to the Internet which ZoneAlarm alerted.
I got rid of everything "trickler"-related that I could find and run a virus scan but nothing was detected.
I went Google on it and it is a spy ware program.
I had it from one of these translation related addresses:

There?s a spy ware removal program at:

This is where my info came from:

Kind regards,

PS
Do You know why I was hit?
Because I tried to find out what "wixer" means in bloody german!
