Fono Description
Worm Fono is a very dangerous spyware, which spreads through IRC channels. It installs itself to the computer and distributes infected files via mIRC chat application. It infects archived files, writes itself on removable disks and infects executables and computer files. The worm places its files in lots of directories and hides some of them, so it is difficult to recognize and cure it. Fono has a payload: in some cases it can erase built-in PC software. Then the affected PC will be totally unoperatable.
