*swears to never help his brother to fix his computer again until he stops downloading fake files*

This isn't my first encounter with the vundo or virtumond viri. They are both just as mischievous and malicious as each other. They spread like rabbits by copying itself to any file it finds and will continue on from the newly infected and the original. The worse side of it is if it can't write to the file, it will corrupt it! Also, these two viri manifest some pretty peculiar problems much like the I encountered above. There really is no threat to these two types unless you like to download software from the ad filled shady looking sites that people still seem to get suckered in by.
Know wh your downloading before you download it and always use avast or kaspersky!!
