Yimp.b Description

Yimp.b is an Internet worm, which spreads through instant messages sent using the AIM or Yahoo! Messenger application. The victim receives a message containing a link to a malicious file. Once he or she clicks on a link and executes a file, the worm immediately installs itself to the computer and runs a spreading routine. Yimp.b sends bogus instant messages to all the user's contacts. Then it runs a payload. It drops and installs an adware spyware and unsolicited software. Yimp.b automatically runs on every Windows startup.

What is Worms?


Yimp.b 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.
