Hi, here's the latest: "Latest Worm Attacks Antivirus Apps A new Visual Basic Script virus is rapidly spreading via E- mail and the ICQ instant-messaging system, shutting down most antivirus and desktop security apps. The worm, dubbed the Goner virus, greets targets with the subject "Hi" and the text reads: "How are you? When I saw this screensaver, I immediately thought about you. I am in a hurry, I promise you will love it!" What users really download is Gone.scr, a copy of the compressed worm. If the file is opened, the worm tries to destroy all security apps. A back door is installed, linked to an Internet Relay Chat program, and the app can be used to launch denial-of-service attacks against Internet Relay Chat servers." >From Infomation Week "And!!! it also try to delete the anti-virus and firewall softwares in your computer. Hence the name 'Goner'." Thanks to my friend Kaye for the heads-up on this one!
