Re: Brontok infects Windows Calculator?

From: "PeterR" <peter.reynolds@xxxxxxxxx>

| Hi !
|
| Both on my computer and my wife's (networked) BitDefender has suddenly
| decided that the Windows XP calculator is infected with the
| Win32.Brontok.A@mm virus.
|
| Should I believe it or has Bitdefender gone crazy?
|
| I know of no way that Calculator would have got infected as I am not
| aware of having started any programs from incoming emails.
|
| When I did a full scan it also decided to find Win32.Klez.H in a large
| number of 2002 sent emails and Win32.Yahaa.K in a large number of 2003
| sent emails (in Thunderbird). I've no way of knowing whether these
| really existed or how they could have done. I've closed and re-opened
| Thunderbird and the messages left in the relevant 2002 folder look the
| same as what was in the original Outlook Express version, though
| Thunderbird doesn't seem to count them so I can't be sure.
|
| Kind regards
|
| Peter


Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe

To use this utility, perform the following...
Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your
FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files.

C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal Mode.
This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor's web site.
The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and Reboot the PC.

You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you can
download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded the files
needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode [F8 key

Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode.

When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive PDF help
