Alcra (computer worm)
W32.Alcra. F is a computer worm that is spread by p2p file sharing networks. It is regarded as a low-risk virus[1] and is usually detected by a virus scan.
Effects
The W32.Alcra. F worm saves a number of empty files and links to a computer and then attempts to connect to those links thus causing an error.
Detection and removal
A full system scan should find and remove this worm without much difficulty.

gollark: I checked eBay. If I wanted one, I could buy it for £90, and there are a few for those sorts of prices.
gollark: 120GB SSDs are at most £20 nowadays.
