To get rid of this "virus" you must deleate the mscdlg.exe file. I'm not sure if you need to end its task or not (it may only run on startup or when the other file is unloaded). I beleive you can stop it from starting up by unchecking it in the startup tab of msconfig (choose run from the start menu and type in msconfig).
This "virus" does a variety of extremly annoying things to JJ2 but seems to effect nothing else. Here is a list of what it is known to do:
Randomly warp you to a random location in the level occasioanlly.
Occasionally change the ammount of roasts/points/gems needed to win a game.
Occasionally LOCALY rename other players in a game to innapropreate words/phrases.
I hope this information hopes you get rid of the "Virus," Initcent.
BTW, SSB CC Piccolo IS the original and true piccolo, the others are the copycats :P

That is useful information...too bad we did not have it when we were searching for the person who sent it. ;-P
