On the other hand, if YOURWAY is a legitimate commercial or shareware product, and that "Ha Ha Ha" thing got tacked onto a copy somehow and is spreading around, then it IS a virus.

For anyone interested, I did a dump from LABTEST by Panda to see what was in the program YOURWAY.EXE. This is what I got. You can see the "ha ha ha" in it a little ways down. (I suggest getting something like labtest, it can save on BIG headaches, especially since many virus authors leave some kind of message) include yourway.lbt

From what I have heard, it sounds like YOURWAY.EXE is a Trojan. Until you hear some evidence that YOURWAY.EXE is infecting other EXE files call it a Trojan. A little proper terminology can save a lot of trouble. A person who steps on a mine isn't killed by biological warfare. As far as I know, no Windows virii exist. The discovery of a Windows virus would be important because a virus is potentially much more dangerous than a trojan. That is because virii spread, trojans don't.

Before the first postings about viruses, I ran it and seemed to work just fine. I played around with it for a little while, but nothing untoward happened. When I saw the postings, I downloaded the latest SCANV (version 75, from late February) to check it out. But SCANV didn't find anything --- and it knows about close to 500 viruses! I've erased YourWay, but I'm still not convinced it was a virus. Anyway, you can get SCANV for free, register it for something like $40, and quickly scan all your new downloads every time.

I scanned it with McAfee (spelling?)'s virus scan stuff, and it didn't show a thing.
