It isn't a virus in the generally accepted. Its just a javascript
scripts that keeps opening the virus warning window. Other versions
will open new browser windows until your computer freezes.
This is the script:
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
function tgos()
{
while (true)
window.alert("** WARNING ** VirusScan has detected the TGOS
virus on your hard drive. If you have recently opened an email or
newsgroup message and see this alert your system is infected.")
}
</SCRIPT>
