A wintools.exe virus going around on the popular IRC server GamesNet. While you're on IRC, remember to stop in and say hi to everyone in #CSNation!

There is a new trojan horse/virus going around called wintools.exe. If someone DCCs you wintools.exe, DO NOT ACCEPT IT. For those who are already infected, we are investigating the best ways to remove it.

Just know what you are downloading, and who it is from. If you think you have been infected with this or any other virus, click me to use a free online virus scan.
