| Description |
: W32.Nimda is a very highly infectious virus which creates .EML and .NWS files in all folders which are accessed by the user.
|
| |
| Details |
: This is a network aware virus and creates the .EML and/or .NWS files in the shared folders of other computers as well. When any of these files are opened in Outlook, the virus automatically gets executed on computers without the outlook patch. Upon execution the virus creates the hidden shares C$, D$ etc. which are normally used for remote administration. Using these shares, more copies of the .EML and .NWS files are created in the folders accessed by the user.
