Also known as Maldal.D, worm could delete antivirus files that haven't been updated to detect it.
After a quiet holiday away from PC viruses, users returning to work Wednesday were warned by antivirus vendor Symantec about the slowly spreading Maldal.D worm.
The worm, also known by its subject line, "ZaCker," has the ability to delete data, including system files and antivirus files that haven't been updated to detect it, according to Symantec. The worm spreads by mailing itself to users through Microsoft's Outlook e-mail program, according to information on Symantec's Web site. Symantec discovered the worm on December 29.
The content of messages that carry the worm ranges from "If you have an elegant taste" to "For everybody wants to marry a woman that he doesn't love!" Symantec says. Once executed, the worm then deletes various files with suffixes including .INI, .EXE, and .JPG.
