Stop worm viruses now with WormGuard, the perfect companion for your antivirus scanner!
2003 was year of the internet worm. Computer worms are still heavily in use, but NOW most worms circulating are trojans known as IRC Bots which have worm spreading capability - like the ZOTOB worm, MYTOB worm, and lots more. Years ago, getting infected with a classic internet worm was much less of a compromise - classic worm viruses simply tried to spread. A lot. New "worm viruses" (worm trojans) are nearly always a trojan designed to infect a lot of machines quickly, so the attacker can create a BOTNET (group of compromised computers). These are used to attack other machines or websites, but more likely the goal is to sell the botnet to the highest bidder. This has been popular for years on the black market. A good example is the worm zotob. These botnets are then used for DDoS attacks, spamming, and other illegal activities. The best protection from worms is WormGuard, and our ProcessGuard software is great protection for nearly any malware type, including bots!
Why do I need it?
Recent outbreaks of super-propagating worms have demonstrated that traditional anti-virus scanning techniques (scanning for known worms) are ineffective against worms that spread around the world faster than you can update your anti-virus software. Often thousands of computers are already infected before the first anti virus updates are available. This is where WormGuard comes in - WormGuard uses generic, heuristic detection of worms which means it finds out what the worm actually does and gives you an alert if it is something possibly harmful. The user can then analyse the output from WormGuard to determine if the file is safe to run. It's a good idea to update your anti virus and scan the suspicious file as well. If you get infected with a worm, it could be very hard to remove or delete the worm.
