Fizzer virus pops on KaZaA

A virus going by the name of Fizzer is spreading rapidly, both via email and the KaZaA P2P network. According to F-Secure, the virus “…has a built-in IRC backdoor, a DoS (Denial of Service) attack tool, a data stealing trojan (uses external keylogger DLL), an HTTP server and some more components. The worm has the functionality to kill tasks of certain anti-virus programs. Additionally the worm has autoupdating capabilities.”

You should upgrade your virus protection and avoid opening email attachments ending with .EXE, .PIF, .SCR and .COM, to prevent infection.
