Yet Another Windows Worm

kraksmoka writes "MSNBC is reporting that yet another active worm is taking over computers in 115 countries today. 'Antivirus companies were on high alert Thursday after the rapid spread of a new computer worm that includes particularly malicious snooping techniques. Bugbear.B, a variant of a worm released last year, installs keylogging software, back-door software, and in some cases even attempts to control infected computersâ(TM) modems. Some of the wormâ(TM)s functions are designed to specially target financial institutions.' Yummy!"
