F-Secure is upgrading the Fizzer worm to Level 1 as this complex e-mail/p2p worm continues to spread rapidly. It is currently one of the most widespread viruses in the world.
Fizzer is a complex e-mail worm that appeared on May 8, 2003. The worm can spread itself in e-mails and in the Kazaa P2P (peer-to-peer) file-sharing network. The Fizzer worm contains a built-in IRC backdoor, a DoS (Denial of Service) attack tool, a data-stealing Trojan (uses external keylogger DLL), an HTTP server and other components. The worm has the functionality to kill the tasks of certain anti-virus programs. Additionally, the worm has automatic updating capabilities.
The Fizzer worm spreads in e-mails as an attachment with .EXE, .PIF, .SCR and .COM extensions. The worm randomly selects attachment names and message subjects and bodies from its internal lists. It collects e-mail addresses from Windows and Outlook Address Books on an infected computer and from different files on a hard disk.
F-Secure provides a special disinfection tool for the Fizzer worm. See the bottom of the page for more info.
