Supposedly, it makes use of the same Windows vulnerability, and then downloads and installs the patch to fix the exploit! =) |

This is not about the worm, I think, but I have an email, ending .com.br, that is receiving a lot of emails with these new viruses. Just today I have already deleted more than 200 messages. My email provider has an anti-virus scanner so I am not at risk, but for every message with the virus I got another message saying that that message had a virus. So, so far, more than 400 messages deleted. I am going crazy with this sh*t. |
