It seems that the unwanted software that generates these db**.exe files are increasing the (**) number now and then. For example, the following files have been spotted: db19.exe, db20.exe, db21.exe, db22.exe, db23.exe and db24.exe.

I assume we will see db25.exe, db26.exe, db27.exe, db28.exe, db29.exe and db30.exe appear shortly.

db28.exe was just submitted to the FreeFixer database. Check out this page for the VirusTotal result:

I guess we will see files with the following names soon: db31.exe, db32.exe, db33.exe, db34.exe, db35.exe, etc.
