Bugbear is not the only high-risk virus. Sobig is another (medium) that comes in different flavors.
It does NOT need any email program, it has its own SMTP program built in! It will still do its nasty work even if you do not have any email programs on your hard drive at all.
It is also able to do its remote access right through ANY firewall if activated. It is written to blend in with legit software that uses port 1080. As a result, firewalls are useless against it (even if it lets the firewall run). Hardware firewalls are equally useless, since this is the port used by so many computer programs (you are using port 1080 right now to download and read this forum).
There has been a rash of infected emails hitting my server lately. |
