as i read it:
it does not affect files on fasttrack, but it creates fake files with names which are commonly shared on fasttrack.
(in principle this could be applied also to other p2p).
the only thing which is really related to fasttrack itself is, that the worm adds the folder, where it creates the files, to the shared folder list in the registry.
the fake files are some executables and must be executed by user for the worm to become active.
mp3s and all files, which become not in any kind active and cannot transport viruses cannot spread this worm.
i think: everybody who downloads executables of any kind from any p2p must be aware that each file she/he starts can contain a NEW virus or worm.
comments are welcome.
