MyDoom is arguably the most successful mass mailing worm in history. One year after it was discovered, MyDoom has spawned more than 30 variants and is still evolving.
Security experts warned on Friday that several new versions of MyDoom have surfaced on the Internet, suggesting that worm writers are taking a stab at improving the venerable virus.
Mydoom is a mass mailing and peer-to-peer (KaZaA) worm that targets The SCO group. This worm is spreading rapidly and went from a standing start to a category 4 rating at Symantec in one leap.
A new 'Swiss Army' worm initially thought to be MyDoom is exploiting an Internet Explorer vulnerability discovered just a few days ago.
Microsoft published a patch for Internet Explorer on Wednesday, aiming to close a month-old hole that has been used by viruses to spread and by an ad banner attack to compromise PCs.
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.
Increasingly, attackers are using better tools to find vulnerabilities quickly, exploit flaws and hide their attacks.
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.
