I've just finished cleaning up an outbreak of the 1575 (15xx) virus. I understand this is a fairly old virus, and while it was a new breakout here, it seems to have been a delayed outbreak from another educational site. Anyway, by what mechanism is this virus spread. I found compressed (lzexe) files which were infected, and tons of executeables. However, I have yet to find anything which I could identify as the original source. Information in this regards would be of help. Thanks al
