Pexmor  

Pexmor Description

Pexmor is an Internet worm that propagates by e-mail in messages with infected attachments. Once the user opens such an attachment, the spyware installs itself to the computer and runs a spreading routine. Pexmor uses its own mail engine to send malicious letters to numerous addresses. It also prevents some installed software from running on Windows startup. Although the worm doesn't carries any destructive payload, its activity may severely degrade overall computer performance and Internet connection speed. Pexomor secretly runs on every Windows startup or whenever the user composes an e-mail message.

How can I get rid of Pexmor?

The most common spyware removal tactic is to uninstall Pexmor by using the "Add/Remove Programs" utility. However, as there may still be hidden Pexmor files, it's possible that Pexmor will reappear after reboot. Follow the Pexmor detection and removal methods below.

What is Worms?

Pexmor is a type of Worms.

Worms are virus-like malware with destructive codes, and are able to mutate, replacing their own code by themselves. This makes worms very dangerous, hard to find, and difficult to delete. Like most viruses, worms may spread to the other computers by secretly emailing themselves to Internet users in your address book. The key difference between a worm and a virus is that worms replace your files, rather than simply inserting themselves into your files.
