  OVERVIEW

A worm is a malware that is designed to propagate and spread across networks.
Worms are known to propagate using one or several of different transmission
vectors like email, IRC, network shares, instant messengers (IM), and
peer-to-peer (P2P) networks.





Worms do not infect files, but may carry one or more payloads, such as computer
security compromise and information theft.





Worms typically modify system settings to automatically start. Users may need to
terminate worms before they can be deleted. Also, restoring affected systems may
require procedures other than scanning with an antivirus program.






  SOLUTION

Trend customers:

Keep your pattern and scan engine files updated. Trend Micro antivirus software
can clean or remove most types of computer threats. Malware, though, such as
Trojans, scripts, overwriting viruses and joke programs which are identified as
uncleanable, should simply be deleted.

All Internet users:

 1. Use HouseCall - the Trend Micro online threat scanner to check for malware
    that may already be on your PC.
 2. Catch malware/grayware before they affect your PC or network. Secure your
    Web world with Trend Micro products that offer the best anti-threat and
    content security solutions for home users, corporate users, and ISPs. Go
