It looks like someone's computer is infected with Nyxem.E Info @ http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/nyxem_e.shtml
Summary The 'Nyxem.e' is a mass-mailing worm that also tries to spread using remote shares. It also tries to disable security-related and file sharing software as well as destroys files of certain types. It is similar to the 'Email-Worm.Win32.VB.bi' that was found a few days ago. Regards, Gary Harpin Software Developer, Research & Development Department. ________________________________ The other day upon the stair, I saw a man who wasn't there.
