Winfig

Posted: March 28, 2006

Worm Winfig spreads through floppy disks. It installs itself to the computer and places infected files on all detected floppy disks. Once per year it runs its payload. It changes the default desktop background and shows several messages. Then it creates lots of directories on a hard disk and removes critical operating computer files. As a result, the infected PC cannot load the operating computer.
