Virus Latest

Another mass-mailing worm called W32/Netsky.b@MM was discovered recently by the McAfee Security Anti-Virus Emergency Response Team (AVERT).

The virus spreads through computer users' e-mail and mapped (shared) drives in Windows operating systems.

After a computer is infected, Netsky.B sends itself to e-mail addresses found on the infected computer. It also duplicates itself throughout the infected system.

Network Associates recommends that, "If you think that you may be infected with Netsky, and are unsure how to check your system, you may download the Stinger tool to scan your system and remove the virus if present."
