I scanned my computer and found i had the virus: Win32:trojan downloader.tracur.B Upon detection and before removal I tried to figure out what it was by searching around the net. Nothing came up matching "Win32:trojan downloader.tracur.B" But there was info about "Win32:trojan downloader.tracur.A" I don't know where the virus came from, I dont know how severe an infection I had Im just curious if anyone has encountered the "tracur.B" before and if so, any info on it.
