NetSky Description
NetSky is an email worm that is designed to install onto your computer without your knowledge and consent. NetSky spreads itself through email in messages with infected executable attachments. By opening such attachment, the user installs the worm onto PC's system. Once it is installed, NetSky will search for email addresses in your computer and will send its copies to these addresses using own mail server. Some versions of the NetSky worm can also remove some computer files and hijack well-known web servers. Few versions contain a backdoor, which can be used by remote attackers to get the full control over infected PCs. In addition, NetSky may install additional malicious applications on your computer so it is recommended to remove it without delay.
