Worm.NetSky.Q Description

Worm.NetSky.Q is a mass mailing worm that propagates through email as an infected email attachment.

Then Worm.NetSky.Q will try to connect to a list of SMTP servers (or your PCs default SMTP server) and to spread itself to all adresses found on your PC. Worm.NetSky.Q also drops an IRC Trojan into the Windows directory, which will allow a hacker to connect to your computer via several access methods. Worm.NetSky.Q opens up a huge security hole on your machine and this places any financial or banking information stored on your computer in severe jeopardy and represents a serious security risk.

What is Worms?


Worm.NetSky.Q 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.
