VBS.Taber is a worm that attempts to spread through the KaZaA file-sharing network as "Britney_and_Madonna_fucking.mov.vbs

Just got this from norton site, bet this catchs a few.


The worm attempts to delete C:\Windows\Explorer.exe and make some configuration changes to Internet Explorer by editing the registry keys.

The worm will only execute on Windows 95/98/Me systems.

I don't get it.

If it manages to delete explorer.exe aren't you already pretty much f*cked?
Tinkering around with IE seems a bit like overkill.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. And wasn&#39;t something like this posted somewhere on the board already?

Well in either case, thanks for the heads up.

And I am glad to see that the older OS&#39;es get some too.
If XP gets viruses alike 9x, at least XP looks better :lol: :D
