This is a nasty one (Risk Level:HIGH); usually passed through email attachments or maybe codecs. Once your PC is infected, the worm can scan your address book and send itself to all of your friends and colleagues. I guess you will know if they are really you friends when they get the email? This Email Worm is malicious and spreads without any help from the user. In addition to Email, Worms can use vulnerabilities of networks to self-perpetuate across any given network. Some worms can consume substantial amounts of your PC' s available assets making it agonizing to work with. Misery loves company. Don't forget, Worms, have friends and they are getting invited too. You may OR may not notice it. However, you may have programs with malicious intent installed on your computer that you did not install. Those are the friends!
