Dear Friends,
I am posting this so that you can be updated with
some of the VERY DANGEROUS viruses created daily by hackers to create
havoc on our computers. Below there is a list of 10 viruses currently
cited as being the most prevalent in terms of being seen the most or
in their ability to potentially cause damage. New viruses are created
daily. This is by no means an all inclusive list. The best thing you
can do is to remain vigilant, keep your anti-virus software updated,
and stay aware of the current computer virus threats.

Virus: Trojan.Lodear
A Trojan horse that attempts to download remote files. It will inject
a .dll file into the EXPLORER.EXE process causing system instability.
The explorer.exe is the main process in Windows without which even the
desktop can be displayed.

Virus: W32.Beagle.CO@mm
A mass-mailing worm that lowers security settings. It can delete
security-related registry sub keys and may block access to security-
related websites.

Virus: Backdoor.Zagaban
A Trojan horse that allows the compromised computer to be used as a
covert proxy and which may degrade network performance.
Virus: W32/Netsky-P
A mass-mailing worm which spreads by emailing itself to addresses
produced from files on the local drives.

Virus: W32/Mytob-GH
A mass-mailing worm and IRC backdoor Trojan for the Windows platform.
Messages sent by this worm will have the subject chosen randomly from
a list including titles such as: Notice of account limitation, Email
Account Suspension, Security measures, Members Support, Important
Notification.

Virus: W32/Mytob-EX
A mass-mailing worm and IRC backdoor Trojan similar in nature to W32-
Mytob-GH. W32/Mytob-EX runs continuously in the background, providing
a backdoor server which allows a remote intruder to gain access and
control over the computer via IRC channels. This virus spreads by
sending itself to email attachments harvested from your email
addresses.

Virus: W32/Mytob-AS, Mytob-BE, Mytob-C, and Mytob-ER
This family of worm variations possesses similar characteristics in
terms of what they can do. They are mass-mailing worms with backdoor
functionality that can be controlled through the Internet Relay Chat
(IRC) network. Additionally, they can spread through email and through
various operating system vulnerabilities such as the LSASS (MS04-011).
