p2pnet.net News:- This doesn’t look reassuring – when run, Downloader.Lunii, discovered on Monday, tries to kill off computer processes and delete files used by adware such as Powerscan and BargainBuddy.

Wasn’t Sasser originally created to help rather than harm?

A ‘medium’ threat Trojan horse, Lunii’s apparent good intentions notwithstanding, it also modifies the configuration of Microsoft Windows machines and tries to download files from a remote location, says Symantec, adding that it affects Windows 2000, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT and Windows XP.
