Avira missing downadup worm

Latest deinfitions of avira, completely missing what i believe are variants
of the downadup worm.

The bastard seems to be causing explorer DEP, renames essential windows
login files, creates autorun.inf on attatched usbs, which point either to a
recycler folder and a 'boot' file or a mispelled recycler folder, causing
the infection to be passed on, other files are alos infected on the drive.

Beware neither avira, malwarebytes or superantispyware picked up any of
these.

Hello Gaz:

If you have any suspected malware files, send them to:

<http://www.virustotal.com/>

for possible identification.

If you receive evidence to corroborate your theory, also pass those
files to the Avira, Malwarebytes and SUPERAntiSpyware folks for their
examination and inclusion in their databases.

Warm regards,

Pete

Chris, Stalking on the internet is a crime, you are warned that you will

And NO MVP would be on the MVP Hosts file block list.
No MVP will be stealing and pirating others work either on a regular and period basis
either.

Thanks for the added information. I forgot that he's in the MVP HOSTS
file. But you're already on his list. ;-)

You may also add me to the displeased user list. He'll block my software
(BugHunter) but so far, I don't get the recognition David has been given.
I want my spotlight too!
