Guest guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Posted January 27, 2004 The following virus tried to get into my system when I began downloading my e-mail messages this morning. I believe the only way they could have gotten my e-mail address was from yahoo.... This is my personal e-mail address and I don't give it out except to friends and these yahoo groups.... So please be careful out-there. You can see more info on it at www.norton.com. kathy WORM INFO: W32.Novarg.A@mm is a mass-mailing worm. The worm will arrive as an attachment with a file extension of .bat, .cmd, .exe, ..pif, .scr, or .zip. When the machine gets infected, the worm will set up a backdoor into the system by opening TCP ports 3127 thru 3198. This will potentially allow a hacker to connect to the machine and utilize it as a proxy to gain access to it's network resources. In addition, the backdoor has the ability to download and execute arbitrary files. The worm will perform a DoS starting on February 1, 2004. On February 12, 2004 the worm has a trigger date to stop spreading.
