Malware Spreads via Skype
2007 September 11
Via some of the links like these:
- http://www.{BLOCKED}espace.net/erotic-gallerys/usr5d8c/dsc027.jpg
- http://www.{BLOCKED}e.org/erotic-gallerys/usr5d8c/dsc027.jpg
Clicking such a link will lead you to download a file named DSC027.SCR, which is a copy of this worm. If you do,
- you will see a blue image
- your status will be modified from online to busy; that is, the worm is sending out the same link to your contact.
- the worm modify the HOSTS file so that you can’t access several antivirus-related web sites.
