Worm warning: Gokar goes wild

NEWS Anti-virus vendors have warned that the Gokar worm is the latest threat to UK businesses. The Gokar is a mass-mailing worm that spreads by emailing itself to all addresses in the user's address book. The malware actively seeks and disables processes belonging to major anti-virus software. Security vendor F-Secure claims to have found several copies of the worm in the wild. The worm disguises itself by using a variety of email subject lines - meaning it is much harder to detect than the existing well-known worms, F-Secure said. The worm itself is an attachment with any of the following file attachments: PIF, SCR, COM, EXE or BAT. Message bodies can contain one of the following: 'You should like this, it could have been made for you, speak to you later, Hey, They say love is blind ... well, the attachment probably proves it, Pretty good either way though, isn't it ? Happy Birthday, Yeah ok, so it's not yours it's mine :), still cause for a celebration though, check out the details I attached, This made me laugh, Got some more stuff to tell you later but I can't stop right now, so I'll email you later or give you a ring if that's ok ?!, Speak to you later.'
