Anti-virus companies say malware writers are undeterred by Microsoft's US$250,000 bounty after discovering another variant of the mass-mailing worm MyDoom over the weekend.
A worm that started spreading on Sunday places the source code for the original MyDoom virus on victims' hard drives, an action equivalent to planting evidence, antivirus experts said Tuesday.
Yahoo has announced it will reject messages with certain subject lines to combat delays incurred due to the MyDoom virus.
Controversial software maker the SCO Group will continue to use an alternate Web site for at least a few more days, even though the denial-of-service attacks that crippled its main site were set to end Thursday.
The MyDoom virus will not spread through the shared folders of users of the latest Kazaa programs, with Sharman Networks using peer-to-peer technology to protect against the virus.
Virus writers seem to be trying every trick they can these days to infect our computers, but we can fight back. How? For starters, says Robert, try updating Windows frequently.
The Bagle computer virus has almost finished off the alphabet. Virus writers' penchant for modifying the source code for the program has resulted in four new variants--Bagle.Q, Bagle.R, Bagle.S and Bagle.T--in the past two days, antivirus firms said on Thursday.
It's official: MyDoom is the fastest spreading e-mail virus or worm in computer history but what's even more incredible is that it does nothing special; instead, it relies largely upon classic, tried-and-true e-mail infection methods dating back at least four years.
When security experts first detected a worm that uses Yahoo's People Search engine to harvest e-mail addresses, they assumed it was a new variant of MyDoom.
What appears to be yet another Microsoft security patch for the MyDoom worm is actually a computer virus. Sober.d (w32.sober.d@mm, also known as Roca.a) is the fourth member of the Sober mass-mailing virus family written in Visual Basic.
Viruses like MyDoom spread more quickly than warm butter on toast. Why?
