New variants of Kido virus emerge

HCM City (VNA/VNS) - New variants of the Kido virus, which work like Trojans and can
resist antivirus software, are on the rise, according to Kaspersky Lab Vietnam.

Net-Worm.Win32 Kido.ip, Net-Worm.Win32.Kido.ip, and other variants use strange
domain names from which they can download to computers over 50,000 types of
harmful data.

The variants have functions like a Trojan downloader which will download other
kinds of viruses and cause network jams.

Software with IDS features will announce attacks with the error message.

The new Kido viruses appeared on January 2 and more than 9 million computers
worldwide have been infected.-Enditem
