EC> Intresting! Could you let us know a bit more about this? An example is 'Nimda'. this info is form M$ http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/security/topics/nimda.asp The official name of the worm is W32/Nimda@MM, but it is generally referred to as the "Nimda" worm. It attempts to spread via three different means: Email: Infected machines attempt to spread the infection to other users by sending copies of the worm via email. Web servers: Infected machines attempt to pass the infection to web servers by either locating an already compromised server, or by exploiting a known security vulnerability in Internet Information Server. Once infected, a web server will attempt to infect the machines of any users that visit it. File shares: Infected machines will search for systems that have been configured to allow anyone to add files to them and, upon finding such a machine, will insert infected files onto it. - -- TTFN, _______________________________________________ David | SecureBat! 1.54 B15/iKey1000 | E-mailaholics | _________________________| Win 2K Server 5.0.2195 SP2 | International | | "The Boatniks: Undercover!" -- Crow T.
