Attention everyone, there is a new worm on the lose!!
Dear Sir or Madam,
You might currently experience a delay when sending (and thus as well receiving) Email via the Belgacom mailservers. This is due to the wormvirus [email]W32.Swen.A@mm.[/email] If this virus succeeds in infecting your pc, it sends continuously Emails to all your correspondents via the Belgacom mail servers. Since it appears a certain amount of computers has already been infected, our mail servers are heavily charged.
To protect your pc, you will find below all details of this virus. If your pc is already infected, you will find a way to remove it.
How can you recognize this wormvirus ?
[email]W32.Swen.A@mm[/email] is a wormvirus that spreads via Email, IRC (the chat application), file-sharing applications like Kazaa, internal networks and newsgroups.
When spreading via Email, it is difficult to recognize since as well the sender as the subject and body (message) are variable. The attachment always carries the extension .exe or .zip.
In many cases however, the wormvirus is disguised as an invitation of Microsoft to update your operating system
ScreenshotWhat does this virus do ?
[email]W32.Swen.A@mm[/email] does the following :
Deactivates different applications like antivirus software, firewall software, etc. As a consequence, other virusses and hackers have free access to your pc.
Looks through your harddisk for Email addresses and sends itself automatically to all addresses it can find.
