I got more than 100 e-mails today with this virus (W32.Novarg.A@mm), so I went to Symantecs site to see what this virus is all about and I found out that this virus was discovered only yesterday!!
WTF, in less then 24hrs since his creation and I already got 100+ e-mails infected with it?? I've never seen a virus spread that fast... So this is just a warning for all of you to update your antivirus....
Some info about it:
W32.Novarg.A@mm is a mass-mailing worm that arrives as an attachment with the file extension .bat, .cmd, .exe, .pif, .scr, or .zip.
When a computer is infected, the worm will set up a backdoor into the system by opening TCP ports 3127 through 3198, which can potentially allow an attacker to connect to the computer and use it as a proxy to gain access to its network resources.
In addition, the backdoor can download and execute arbitrary files.
The worm will perform a Denial of Service (DoS) starting on February 1, 2004. It also has a trigger date to stop spreading on February 12, 2004.
