    I've found these days about a dangerous worm spreading very fast on the internet. W32/Nyxem-D

    Its main actions are:
    Turns off anti-virus applications
    Sends itself to email addresses found on the infected computer
    Deletes files off the computer
    Forges the sender's email address
    Uses its own emailing engine
    Downloads code from the internet
    Reduces system security
    Installs itself in the Registry

    Aliases: Email-Worm.Win32.VB.bi, CME-24, WORM_GREW.A, Win32.Blackmal.E@mm, W32/Tearec.A.worm, Email-Worm.Win32.Nyxem.e
    W32/MyWife.d@MM

    I tried to find it on NOD32 signatures update, but no luck. Does anyone know if it's actually detected?

    Yes I would be interested in an answer to this as well. Something needs to be done, malware naming is getting way out of hand. Just that particular worm, is called the Black worm, blackmal, Nyxem, VB.NEI to name a few, how are we supposed to keep track.

    Vgrep helps when we are confused about malware names, at least to some extent :D

    It's not a practical solution for Joe Soap. This is the problem with project vgrep.

    By the time VGrep has information the threat is usually long past, CME or some similar idea would be a much better solution.
