Remeber I've been warned that agent.BX may have infiltered my computer? I 
got the below information from a friend who is initiated. Microsoft  has a 
awaiting award of a hundred k for the one who can IDENTIFY that worm. It's 
not identified! I can't believe my ears. Can't Microsoft themselve, how then 
on earth can you do it at home. My friend told me that agentBX does not need 
exe or dll or any other common file types for hiding. It's seemingly one of 
the most dangerous intruders today and you may not know about it in your 
computer for months!  I was told that there is only one way to get rid of 
it: format the HD and reinstall. To have a second HD for saving or an 
external one is not at safe either, not to mention memory sticks. So, 
without knowing anything, you may contribute to spreading this evil thing 
worldwide. Hence, not to risk be blacklisted one day by TN, I will now kill 
my OS and start from  scratch.

Worm.Agent.bx is a nefarious Trojan infection that tends to be installed 
onto a computer via a web browser security exploit, and without the user's 
consent or knowledge thereof. Once Worm.Agent.bx is installed it begins to 
download and install additional malware onto the infiltrated system, which 
may in turn cause serious issues and may render the infected computer 
useless. The fact that Worm.Agent.bx can easily enter any PC system via 
security exploits and flaws, most times without the user's interaction, 
means that it is that much easier for Worm.Agent.bx to enter the system and 
ensure the system's security is immensely compromised. All financial and 
personal data is at serious risk of being stolen, should a computer system 
have Worm.Agent.bx present. Worm.Agent.bx allows for a remote attacker to 
gain access to all personal information, which is highly capable of 
resulting in identity theft. The term Trojan refers to the fact this 
particular malware, Worm.Agent.bx, is not only installed under deceptive 
pretences, infiltrating the user's PC without their approval or knowledge, 
but is also highly capable of serious system damage and data loss. 
Worm.Agent.bx is particularly damaging to a computer system, once it has 
fully embedded itself within the PC's system, therefore it is given a high 
priority security risk status by many computer analysts. Risks which may 
affect the PC's system functions include: the opening of illicit network 
connections, the use of polymorphic tactics to self-mutate, the disabling of 
already installed security software, modification of system files, and not 
forgetting the installation of additiona
