Status : moderate risk
01.18.07 15:20 "informational" to "moderate risk"
Kaspersky Lab has detected mass mailings of new variants of Email-Worm.Win32.Warezov, which started on 15th January, 2007.
A new version is being sent out in each mass mailing. The variants are all highly similar, and spread as an attachment to infected emails. Once launched, they may terminate antivirus and firewall programs and download other malware.
Antivirus updates have been released for all the latest variants. Users are strongly recommended to ensure that they keep their antivirus software up to date.
If you are using Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0, enable Proactive Protection, and new variants will be detected without the need to update antivirus databases.
Further details of the latest variants will be available in the near future.
