This multi-component malware has both worm and backdoor capabilities. It propagates by penetrating systems with weak passwords and dropping a copy of itself in these vulnerable systems.

It acts as a backdoor by connecting to a remote IRC server. This enables a remote malicious user to control the compromised system using IRC commands.

It runs on Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, XP and NT.

Hey Null,

Bloody nice post.. great information.. BUT BD]Hobbit posted this a few days ago .. Don't feel bad I've done worse..

But worth the information.. pse not I have found that McAfee seems to get some of thes bugs before the updates.. only what I am seeing here..

Link for Symantec .. the threat level has been upgraded since the first posting..

You know.. for the first time in months there are others posting warnings.. and the information is good.. pity the news is bad..


Thanks guys..

Cheers

yes quite right.........thew news is very bad..............OOOOOPPPPs i take a quick look at heads up posted during my vocation....and i missed this one by BD]Hobbit...sorry...BD]Hobbit and others pls.....

Easy enough error to make.. so a minor punishment is required.. hmm
Stake him out on the nearest Anthill.. and use honey as a sunscreen...2days should be enough..
