That one's been going around for years... it's a hoax

http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/budsaver.exe.html

"BUDSAVER.EXE is not a virus. It is a hoax. The "virus" does not exist.
There is
currently no virus that has the characteristics ascribed to
BUDSAVER.EXE. It is a
sham, meant only to panic new or inexperienced computer users."

Always worth checking out for well known hoaxes at Symantec's hoax
centre before spreading the panic.
