Taripox

Posted: March 28, 2006

Worm Taripox is an Internet worm that spreads by e-mail in messages with infected attachments. It uses the unique technique to distribute itself across the Internet: it changes computer settings and acts as a proxy mail server, so when a user sends an e-mail, the worm intercepts it, appends an infected file, and resends affected message to same recipient using the real mail server.
