Posted: March 28, 2006

Worm Grouch is a complex Internet spyware, which spreads by e-mail, file-sharing and IRC networks. It modifies settings of the Microsoft Word text processor and infects some text documents. It places infected files to shared directories of popular peer-to-peer clients, infects mIRC or pIRCh chat applications and spreads via them. It also replicates infected letters by e-mail using Microsoft Outlook mail application. Once per year the worm erases all the data from the main hard disk.
