ish,

"It didn't show up today and I remember having this a couple of years ago. I believe it quit after a day or so."

per the symantec bulletin that tc linked for you, the payload triggers the first of any month at 5pm and shuts down windows....

********************************

"If a system is infected, then there will be no real indication of this until the first day of any given month. On the first of the month you will see the following message:

"Kagou-Anti-Kro$oft says not today!"

If you click OK, the computer shuts down. This window returns each time you start Windows."


********************************

i take the above to mean that on the 2nd, it's not happening. but that's just a guess.

symantec is doing a great service putting these removal tools on their site for folks in your predicament. and it should put things back in good shape.

good luck

:)
