Bloodhound.exploit.13

Well last night I tried reloading all my files and what I thought was going
to work only worked with the first file I told you about. After coping all
the files I started getting the message again. So I am still lost.

Hi there!

I have a similar problem, since 2 months, I'm using a Dell Dimension 9200
with Vista Home Premium w/ latest updates, there are no Symantec product
installed but since a few days, my hard drive doesn't stops reading/writing
so before it becomes to annoying, I have decided to install an AV called
Kaspersky to see if there's something like a worm or ..., Hey, it's free for
a month so it won't costs a lot for a possible solution.

Each time I was starting Windows Photo Gallery, I was getting continuous
alerts related to MS04-028 JPEG Exploit. The popup window was appearing
sometimes up to 50 times in a row.

Since, It's my first PC, (I come from the Mac world) I was thinking maybe it
could be built in the AV Demo I've downloaded so I decided to try another AV
so I installed Avast and the same thing happened, the same @$%! event happens
again, a pop up window advising me of MS04-028 JPEG Exploit in many places.

I have used the Microsoft® Windows® Malicious Software Removal Tool
(KB890830) without success.

Is there an immediate solution to this annoying thing even if it is not
dangerous for the Vista OS?

Is it a Trojan, a Virus, a worm or simply a junk file generated by Windows
Photo Gallery and misinterpreted by some AV?

It seems hopeless... :?

I am also experiancing the same thing. I am 100% sure that there is no
virus in these files and have moved the same files on multiple
computers. The only computer having the issue is the Vista box. It
looks like MS has the issue. I have been looking for work arounds or
possible fixes but I have not found anything yet. I hope this gets a
noticed by MS soon since I am sure it going to be a growing issue.

If anyone knows of a solution please post.

I'm running Vista HP with Norton also but I get the popup when I'm trying to
watch TV with the Media Centre. The Bloodhound.Exploit.13 keeps coming up
and down and interfering with the picture. The only way to watch it is to
reduce the size from full screen. But I have only had this problem in the
last couple of weeks. Is it a virus? If so, why doesn't Norton remove it?

Please help.

It seems the bug is deeply rooted with Symantec. I use Symantec Endpoint Protection 11 with the latest definitions and when I use the Vista built-in sceencapture Symantec will label the temp file that is created as 'Infected' with Bloodhound.exploit.13.
So possibly MS incorporated a piece of spyware/code into Vista to be able to see what the screens look like perhaps?
