When it determines that a pornographic Web site is being shown, the Trojan minimizes that window and displays a message from the Koran instead, Sophos said. If the offending site is not closed, a button labeled "For Exit Click Here" will appear. Moving the mouse to that box will lock it in and the user is forced to log out of Windows, according to Sophos.

haha, imagine reporting that to the company IT guy...

"um, when i go to a certain website it minimizes the window and tells me to exit"

"which site is it, I need to see this thing to know what it is"

"um... BigBootyHoes.com, it came in a spam email pop-up thingy I swear!"
