See, I told you Jim Bob, them Aliens been here...

Sundor worm spreads alien message, The WM97/Sundor-A worm will display an image of an Alien and some good words. Along with a nice message, it ever so kindly removes programs and some files for you, And if that wasn't nice enough it will even clean up you desktop (by hiding icons). And if you notice your AV software not working, that because the worm felt you didnt need it any more by disabling it.

It's been reported that you are very unlikely to be infected with the virus. "The Sundor-A worm has so far been remarkably unsuccessful at spreading its message to the inhabitants of planet Earth. Nevertheless, internet users should be reminded that it's important to keep their anti-virus protection up-to-date and always think twice before running unknown files on their computers."...
