W32/Bugbear has a size of 50,688 bytes (compressed with UPX) and is written in the Visual C programming language. Additionally, W32/Bugbear drops a DLL file (dynamic link library), which contains a keylogging Trojan, detected by Panda as Trj/PSW.Bugbear 5632 (Bytes).


What does "50,688 bytes" translate to in Kilobytes? It would make sense for it to be 51K, but no one seems to say so. Is there a reason? I think I've deleted several posts about that size before I opened them and even gave Norton a shot at them. If I don't recognize a name, or the subject makes less than perfect sense, I delete it, no questions asked. I was hit hard by SirCam when my notepad accidentally opened it. I had to completely reinstall the entire computer (both platforms) before I finished with that debacle.

I have my Norton Antivirus and Personal Firewall set up to scan the computer every evening. I update every day or two manually, but should probably set it to do that automatically as well. Good suggestion to have a few links handy for other providers for "just in case" application.
