  • Anti Worm Worm

    It actually gets in through the RPC vulnerability and attempts to patch it.

    I bet M$ released it.

      Weird but interesting

          I thought this opened a backdoor for a hacker. If it doesn't it's welcome on our system. Might clear the mess up. I bet someone release another virus to kill this one.

            This isn't the first time something like this has been done. There was an anti-Code.Red virus released during that outbreak as well.

                It does self terminate eventually. It's still not good but it is funny.

                  It seems that an earlier report I read has been upated and it doesn't leave a backdoor open.
                  Now all we need is someone to let it onto our network and let it clean a few machines up.

                    Will M$ release it?

                          Yeah, they'd clean it up. Too much of a liability of somebody figures out how to write a malicious virus that mimics the signature of this good one.

                            Actually, Worms were first built to be "white blood cells" in a network: Fixing things such as print spoolers, orphan processes and old logins. However, the very nature of their independance caused more problems than they solved.

                            They were discarded in the early 1980s, only to return as Trichinosis or worse.

                              Well it's on our network by the looks of it. Some kind soul has brought it in. Hopefully it'll kill the orginal off.
