Computer virus - Zafi.b Worm Threat Upgraded

From All Africa

A new variant of the Zafi e-mail worm, first found in the wild last Friday, has been upgraded to radar level two alert.

The Zafi.B worm comes in a host of European languages, and can shut down a PC's anti-virus (AV) program, says F-Secure product manager Mikael Albrecht. "This worm is tricky, as it has a feature that can close down firewalls and AV programs in order to help itself spread further."
