New E-mail Worms
A slew of new worms may be on their way to your e-mail inbox even if you run anti-viral software. Why? Well a new version of VBS Worm Generator, the virus creation program used to write the Anna Kournikova worm in February, has been released by the program's creator, who claims that worms created with the newest version of his program will be undetectable by most antiviral software.
The new tool's ease of use -- including its remarkably lucid help file -- indicates the next generation of worms will reduce the number of copycat worms, which in turn will make them harder to contain once they are released in the wild. Sounds like we're going to have quite a bit of virus news in the coming weeks.
