Stopin

Posted: March 28, 2006

Worm Stopin spreads by the Internet in e-mails with infected attachments. When a user executes such attachment, the worm shows a fake error message and installs itself to the computer. Then it terminates some antivirus processes and searches files of several types for e-mail addresses and sends its copies there. Several times per month the worm shows messages with political content.
