I-Worm.Bajar description: Worm Bajar spreads by e-mail in letters with infected attachments. When a user executes the worm's file, it starts its own process, which uses Microsoft Outlook mail client to send copies of the worm to other users. It also tries to delete some of the critical system files. Then an infected computer may function improperly.

Properties:
• Hides from the user
• Stays resident in background

Got into the workshop this morning to be greeted with a 'pop-up' from KAV telling me I was infected with the I-Worm.Bajar ... to be more specific TKCP.UD was infected ... and could only be quarantined.

KAV could not delete it until I stopped UD (United Devices, cancer research) from running.

I don't use MS Outlook, its not installed

but where in the hell did I get it from? I don't even use OE to check mail on this PC; I don't use any mail program on this PC.

If this was an infestation, and not a false positive from KAV, we are in for some serious trouble. It seems to have been 'attached' to a UD work unit, if that is true.

I had it too! I dont know how i got it eithe ras i dont have outlook installed and hadnt looked in my email account in the past few days. Maybe through msn?

But norton 2002 deleted it for me.
 
Very strange, and worrying!!! I'm running a virus scan now.

When I formatted my PC with a fresh install of windows, by the time I installed an Anti-Virus and Firewall I already had a virus (was connected to the internet at the time, silly me! :().
 
I somtimes worried about this happening with folding@home. My norton is unsubsribed, it has not had a update for a while, but i stopped using UD a while ago.

How would this happen? If all the units are kept on a server...would it have too be put in by the owner or somthing?

I dont know, but can guess. just need clarification.

Kye
