Grew worm (also Nyxem)

Grew worm (also Nyxem)

Didn't find your answer?

Incase you haven't already read about it there is a worm circulating the net which, on Feb-03, will delete all word / excel and other documents.

Particularly nasty since if you unfortunate enough to be infected before the relavent updates were made by your AV company, it disables your AV software.

Thanks for the warning, James
I've added a little background info and links in our latest IT Zone Virus Alert, but thanks are due to you for raising the first warning.

As I say in the other article, every extra warning raised could help someone avoid an unpleasant and costly infection. Keep up the good work, James!
