1st pocket PC worm asks if you want to infect - Duts is a 1520 bytes long program, hand written in assembly for the ARM processor. When an infected file is executed the virus asks for permission to infect (http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/dtus.shtml): "WinCE4.Dust by Ratter/29A Dear User, am I allowed to spread?". When granted the permission, Duts attempts to infect all EXE files in the current directory. Duts only infects files that are bigger than 4096 bytes and have not been infected yet. As an infection marker the virus writes the string 'atar' to the Windows Version field of the EXE header.
