New worm terminates antivirus apps - News - ZDNet

New worm terminates antivirus apps - News - ZDNet:
"A new worm variant that can terminate antivirus applications was discovered last Friday, prompting Internet security vendor F-Secure to issue a level two warning.

The variant, called Zafi.B, is spread through e-mail attachments in PIF, EXE or Com attachments, and according to F-Secure, the worm 'terminates all applications that have 'firewall' or 'virus' in their file-name'.

The worm is capable of transmitting in several languages, including English, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Swedish, German or Finnish, said F-Secure, and spreads itself by collecting e-mail addresses from the recipient's address book. "
