Default Windows virus scheduled to delete files on infected computers on February 3rd


Windows computer virus an email worm that has been circulating the past week or two will delete files on computers that are infected with it on February 3rd and the 3rd of every month thereafter.

The virus will try to spread itself by copying a file named WINZIP_TMP.exe to available shares it finds on the network. Doing a file search for that name will locate any copies that may have been placed on your computer. Finding the file does not mean your computer is infected. Only that you have an unsecure share on your computer allowing viruses and criminals to add, modify, and delete information on your computer.

The worm is known by various names including Kama Sutra, Blackmal, Nyxem, MyWife, and Blackworm.

Details can be found at the following locations below.
