Virus warning

[Kamdarian]

Hey guys,
Just wanted to share some info. Somewhere I picked up a virus. So I just wanted to warn you guys before you pick it up too. The virus shuts down your comp on it own...not sure what else happens internally. Anyway the name of the file is webdav.exe and the virus name is W32.Spybot.Worm. It was located in C:\documents and settings\All users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\ .
Hope this helps,
GL all

*Edit* correction, the virus originated in C:\windows\system32
I'm not sure where this one came from but I also discovered a second worm. It's name is MSBlaster. This worm is already known about by microsoft. ALL windows users should visit

Yes,

MSBLASTER is a major virus going around,you shouldnt get anything from SPYBOT though,spybot is a tool used to clean up spy programs on your computer (Very good also...)


Also called SoBIG.F read updated info on it HERE (http://www.msnbc.com/news/955498.asp?0cv=TA01#BODY)

This is a good progee to get for your firewall to scan for malicous files,get it HERE (http://vil.nai.com/vil/averttools.asp#stinger)

Good luck.......

W32.Spybot.Worm is different than the recent MSBLASTER worm and is nothing to do with Spybot-Search-And-Destroy :)
