How did i get infected?

Hello, i have just ran McAfee virus scan and was shocked to find hundreds of infected illegal files on my PC.

There was a folder named...C:windowsmediaAAAAAAAAAA.exe which was full of Hardcore Porn, Cracks, Keygens,Seriels and loads of other stuff, all infected with the W32/supova.worm.

I never downloaded any of it, so how did it get there?

I switched off my Firewall today for a while, do you think someone got access to my PC?

Need to do a thorough virus scan and see if anything else there.

How did you get infected....
Probably by sleeping with a dodgy bird.

You got it either from MSN or Kazaa.
