New Worm Spreads Via MSN Messenger

Anti-virus experts are watching a new worm that spreads through Microsoft Corp.'s MSN Messenger client. The worm is not harmful to infected machines and has infected only a few PCs at this point, according to an analysis by Trend Micro Inc.

Known as Jitux, the worm is self-propagating and contains a link to a Web site that automatically downloads an executable file named "jituxramon.exe" to the PC. Once the file runs, the worm begins sending out copies of itself to all of the names in the user's Messenger contact list. The worm, first discovered Tuesday, is capable of spawning multiple instances of itself on one PC.

[3rd gen noob]

does this worm spread automatically or does the user in the contact list have to click on a link?

[TClite]

you have to click the link

is that your completely unbiased view? ;)

[TClite]

When W32.Jitux.Worm is executed, it resides in memory and sends the following message to the contacts in MSN Messenger.

http:/ /www.home.no/******/jituxramon.exe

and again.....

see if your car doesn&#39;t spray any water onto the windscreen, what&#39;s the first thing you check?

[TClite]

the fuse box

so you wouldn&#39;t check the reservoir?

if an anti trojan detects open ports, do you format and reinstal? or do you close the ports?

close the ports
but then new ports might open
and then even after the reinstall you might have some viruses present

[TClite]

lol, ports are automatically open , doesnt mean theyre under threat just means there is a potential threat, when you reinstal ports still get open

[3rd gen noob]

so it&#39;s natural that when you close two open trojan ports, another 2 open (that weren&#39;t open before)?

[3rd gen noob]

and it&#39;s normal to have a virus present straight after a clean windows install?

[TClite]

lol, no, coincidence thats all, just close them again, obviously theres some associated process...perhaps not trojan related

what, so after you close all unnecessary programs and don&#39;t open new ones?

[TClite]

at this point you see a doctor for paranoia
