    I can't believe GameSpy is doing this. It's sooo passé. Microsoft already did this. Next time GameSpy wants to get infected, it should be original and choose a different virus, maybe W32.Klez.E or even a McAfee homebrew bug, instead of just copying MS because it's an industry leader. Me, I prefer my KaZaA virus, because it has its own EULA.
