There is a Virus called sallity... This is in a form of a folder... This virus will target folder option on you control panel... That means you won't see hidden files..

There is this other one called burning flu... This type of virus is new in south africa... This will target the mouse pointer to be slow and unactive when clicking... If you scan it with avast, it damages the svchost... This means when you login you on a pc, it will logout after some few seconds... Just make a system restore to get rid of that after scanning

Watch out for Brongtok virus... You will find it on your my pictures folder in a form of a green html page with a green bg colour... This one is not very dangerous... It will just cause your computer to run slow...
