im ok on computers (internet side of things) but not good with virus's my young cousin has gone on my computer and downloaded some a file that helps them do cheats and things on his xbox with the game call of duty six about a week ago. i have gone on my computer today and there my noton anti virus 2010 has done a scan it came up with  a few high risk ones saying:

hack.prestige.10.cod.6.free.45026[1].exe (suspicious.IRCBot) dectected by download insight

cod6.multiplayer.hack.45026[1].exe (suspicious.IRCBot) dectected by download insight
