"As of January 19, 2007, Symantec Security Response is advising users to be cautious of any unsolicited email which contains attachments that claim to be legitimate or interesting, due to a recent trojan horse named Trojan.Peacomm. The Trojan horse arrives as an attachment to an email purporting to contain a video of one of several different recent news stories. The attachment may be one of the following: FullVideo.exe, FullStory.exe, Video.exe, ReadMore.exe, FullClip.exe.
The attachment is actually a trojan horse that will install itself on the system and download other malicious programs from various computers on the Internet. The attachment and the trojan horse it contains will be detected as Trojan.Peacomm. Other malicious programs that are commonly downloaded by this threat include Trojan.Abwiz.F and W32.Mixor.Q@mm.
Once installed and running, this threat attempts to establish communication with other infected systems on the Internet via a custom peer-to-peer network. This network is used as the distribution source from which the other malicious programs are downloaded.
Symantec Security Response has analyzed the threat and has provided protection for it via LiveUpdate and Intelligent Updater. The latest antivirus (AV) definitions will detect all known variants of the Trojan.Peacomm trojan horse."
Norton just picked this up and it doesn't know how to fix it, I opened no e-mail or anything and it is still saying it is spreading on my PC, thousands of people are getting this virus since the storm in Europe, I need suggestions and fast! I need to do something becuase Norton is doing fuk all!
What should I do!?
