Nopir-B

I just picked this up from Mocking Music -- apparently a new malware has hit the internet. Nopir-B bills itself as a DVD-cracking program that gets your around DVD copy protection. What it does instead is take control of your machine, deleting all MP3s it finds, then hunting down P2P programs and some other apps and wiping them out. Anti-virus vendors are updating their products, but expect this piece of crap to hang around the P2P world for some time. Personally, I think the RIAA or MPAA are behind it. No hacker would build this for fun -- the hacker community would take them apart for it.
