Security warning

If you find out that you've a newly added "My Webs" folder (or similar) be careful, it might be somebody taken control of your PC. I found out on one of my computers, which by the way was behaving very strangely. I've all kind of protections and firewalls and shit, and anyway, the little sucker was there. Don't know how the hell I got it, but 2 weeks ago I installed Outlook to check something and since I was installing everything I didn't install at first, I also installed FrontPage (I wouldn't normally install any of these craps, look what happens when you do). Anyway, you'll find that now you've some FrontPage virtual server installed in your machine. Did a search in google about vinavbar and it's a big bug in Microsoft's (go figure) servers

Well, dunno if it did any harm (I'm quite sure it did) but to hell with it, I promise the day they make PS, Fireworks and Flash for Linux I'll run away from Microsucks to never come back. If anyone has some info on this, more than appreciated (ie if there's a way to know which kind of activity it did)
