Looks like a mundane trojan.

 * No notable distinguishing or innovative features: both attack vectors and action scheme are quite common for malware.
 * Never was a major threat: or a google query would yield a descriptive article in a magazine or by a major AV vendor.

 * Comment: IT did get some news coverage in 2008 when it came out, but otherwise seems indistinguishable from other trojans that arise from time to time. see . Redirects are cheap, so I'd redirect to Trojan horse (computing) in case someone searches for it. Also, I'd note the current content of the article is mcafee/norton sort of explanation of the trojan and its manifestation/effects, that's not encyclopedic content of the type we'd want if it was a notable trojan.--Milowent • hasspoken  04:01, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete / redirect to the article for trojans in general. This isn't even the name of a trojan, but a filename that could be given to any trojan (and is incredibly likely to be used in that manner, with the assumption that the user will think they are playing a music file). dalahäst (let's talk!) 03:26, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
