Bigbear virus

Ook het bugbear virus doet weer zijn ronde, gelukkig houden de meeste virus scanners dit virus automatisch tegen en verwittigen je ervan. Vandaag zijn er bij mij zo al 16 stuks opzij geschoven...

Dit is alvast wat McAffee erover vertelt :

A new variant of the Bugbear virus, W32/Bugbear.b@MM is a HIGH RISK mass-mailing worm that contains numerous malicious elements, including a keylogger, network share propagator, remote access trojan, polymorphic parasitic file infector and terminator of security software.

Creating privacy and security concerns for consumers, these elements may allow a remote attacker to access an infected PC and log all keystrokes, including passwords and personal information. It also mass-mails itself without the user's knowledge, spreads across network shares and embeds itself deep into the infected PC.

Caution: An infected email can come from addresses you recognize and may contain the following information:


What to Look for:

Subject: [content varies]
Body: [content varies]
Attachment: [ standard executable extensions: .exe, .pif and .scr ]




Up-to-date McAfee VirusScan users are protected from this threat.
