While it's been a long time since I posted, I also recieved this...
It isn't the correct file extension, I think it is supposed to be .exe instead of .bat
It has something to do with networking, because in the beginning of the file, it is supposed to open ports to allow connections, somewhat like the blaster worm, that went around a few months ago. I ran a few online scans, and it didn't detect it as anything.
I have a feeling this is someones poor excuse at coding.
EDIT: I decided, to change the file extension from .bat to .exe. This time, I think I found out what the person who wrote the virus was trying to do. It changed the icon from that of an .exe to a image file icon associated with Photoshop.
I re-scanned it, found nothing. I'm half tempted to run the file, just to see what happens, but I won't, cause I don't have a test machine here.
