I was downloading the new Theme Creator Pro and when the setup was done my virusscanner showed a message (Alert) after 10 minutes. I have automatic virusscan ennabled in McAfee. The problem is that the virus doesn't want to go away and I do not know what to do next.
I got Theme Creator Pro from KaaZaa, I downloaded it from a user called "mickey..."
After I got the allert I tried to use the other, original link:
http://members.lycos.co.uk/themecreator, but that program did also give the Alert, so the original software is also infected, but I am not sure about this Ericssony??
I made some pictures of it, maybe you could help me please?

I keep getting a virus alert from mcafee when I've used kazaa like you. See my posts from last night on the uk user thread for identifacation and description. If it is the same one its harmless!

check
http://vil.mcafee.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=99560 for info on the Supova.worm virus
as far as I saw on McAfee's website it's removeable, just make sure you have an up to date antivirus program.

You shouldn’t download Theme Creator Pro from other place or other www site! And especially NOT from KaaZaa!
And by the way: downloads from other place or www site is violation of license agreement!
The original executable from my site is virus free!!!

The virus is spreading very fast in your computer.
The first file that was infected was "TCPro.exe" after that
more files within an our became infected.
I think your computer get's slower??
Does it also infect your themes that the program makes??
Please help me?!

I can't help you if you got infected thru KaZaa!!! Don't download files from KaZaa!!!
Read this:
"Supova.worm virus
This worm is designed to propagate through the KaZaa peer-to-peer file-sharing network and MSN Messenger. It attempts to lure KaZaa users into downloading and running itself by posing as software titles that users may find enticing."
I do NOT use KaZaa nor MSN Messenger nor OE and so on!
My computer is virus free!

Annemique is right.
I downloaded also the file from
http://members.lycos.co.uk/themecreator and my virusscanner gave the same alert.
A couple of weeks ago I had the same problem with "Windows XP Keygenerator". And after that again with a file from a friend of my on a CD-ROM.
This virus is LOW in damage.
The only thing is does is this:
* It infects your files (fast) because it is a worm.
In a couple of weeks 228 files were infected on my computer.
* My computer got a little bit slow because my Virusscanner showed an alert every time when he found the virus in a file. The virus is hiding
itself in *.exe files, I think...
Solution:
Format your computer or download the latest DAT-files, but the first option is the best.
Maybe Ericssony (denveloper) had the virus on his computer in a file and maybe he didn't see it or his virusscanner did not give an alert or what so ever, so the virus got in to the programm while he was programming?? I don't know.
I won't use the programm, because otherwise I have to re-install my computer again. I don't think it will infect your phone, because your phone is not the same as a computer but I do not know that for sure.

It won't infect your phone as it runs on a completely different OS. However viruses are being made for phones and Nokia are working on a mobile virus checker now!

Guys I think that’s enough!
Instead to be thankful that I wrote this program and make it available to everyone, you all try to put my program and my name in a bad light!
Over 300 copies have been downloaded from the original site and no one got a virus! And no one from my beta testers team! Just because someone downloaded my software from KaZaa you all think that my software is now infected with a virus or that I wrote this virus.
My computer is virus free! I did check it for viruses for 15 minutes ago and with 3 (tree) different virus scanners!
And if someone has another complain, suggestion, whatever, PLEASE go to the forum on my site. http://members.lycos.co.uk/themecreator/forum
The executable has been uploaded again and checked for viruses. It’s virus free!
