| SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Computer security companies on Tuesday
| warned that a dangerous new Internet worm that is spreading will try
| to delete and overwrite files on infected computers beginning on
| Wednesday that run Mozilla and Netscape 6 builds.
|
| The worm, dubbed Klez.E, is programmed to delete and overwrite Word,
| Excel, video, image, and Internet files, among others via Netscape 6
| and Mozilla, on the sixth day of every other month, said Mikko
| Hypponen, manager of antivirus research at F-Secure, a Helsinki-based
| company.
|
| The virus is spread through the Javascript extensions that Mozilla and
| Netscape current use, a known security bug. Versions of Netscape 4.7
| and earlier are safe from the worm.
|
| There is currently no patch available.
