#15101 - RE: NIMDA virus More Info |
Hi
Here is some more info on the virus:- a nasty virus is on the loose again Please be careful opening attachments This came in from McAfee today McAfee.com has seen a large and growing number of systems infected with the W32/Nimda@MM. This is a HIGH RISK virus that is spread via email. W32/Nimda@MM also spreads via open shares, the Microsoft Web Folder Transversal vulnerability (also used by W32/CodeBlue), and a Microsoft content-type spoofing vulnerability. The email attachment name VARIES and may use the icon for an Internet Explorer HTML document. It will also attempt to spread itself as follows: - The email messages created by the worm include content that allows the worm to execute the attachment even if the user does not open it. - It modifies HTML documents, so that when this infected window is accessed (locally or remotely), the machine viewing the page is then infected. Once infected, your system is used to seek out others to infect over the Web. AVERT is currently analyzing this threat and will post more details online shortly. For detection and removal instructions for the W32/Nimda@MM virus, click here. รจ http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ib...p?cid=2448 Hope it helps |
