MyLife worm tries to delete Windows files | |
|
||
| Time: 00:16 EST/05:16 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||

A worm posing as an old-fashioned photograph of a girl holding a flower is making the rounds on the Internet. MyLife (w32.mylife@mm) is a 30,720-byte worm written in Visual Basic and compressed using UPX. If executed, the worm will attempt to mail copies of itself to everyone in the user's address book and will attempt to delete critical Windows files. Fortunately, a bug in the current worm code prevents MyLife from deleting any files. Users of Macintosh (news - web sites) and Linux (news - web sites) machines are not affected. Because MyLife spreads via e-mail and currently does not damage system files, this worm rates a 4 on the ZDNet Virus Meter. | ||
