I know this topic is more than a week old, but I'm interested. havvok, did you do anything? You should definitely tell the police because your friend will shit himself;
I agree with sir phoenixx, and this kind of thing has happened to me too. What happened was a friend from school (not really a friend -- I only knew him from school. He's an alright guy, but the kind of guy that sees an opportunity and takes it) sent me that old sub-7 trojan through MSN. The sub7 trojan is basically a backdoor to your system, and gives whoever infects your computer total control over it as long as you're online. He just fucked about with my computer for a while but didn't do anything serious. I thought it was funny too, but eventually a joke is a joke, and he could have done anything up to erase everything on my HD. I told him to remove it, and I don't think he did, so I told him I'd phone the police. He got scared (he told me in school the next day) and removed it. For all I know though, he could have kept it, but it won't be on my PC now as I got a new hard drive and OS a while ago.
Case in point: when the police is involved, people will think twice before breaking the law (which your friend was doing, no matter what he says).

As he should. Though, I'm almost thinking that it would have been better to have gone ahead and told the police, but at least he (i'm guessing) promptly offered to pay for the damages. It's good that you decided to take the high road on this one.
whoa.
