| | Shoho worm adds, deletes files (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19) |
 | | The worm, dubbed Shoho or Welyah, spreads via its own e-mail engine, rather than through Microsoft's Outlook e-mail client, as many worms do, and attempts to delete files, according to antivirus firms Network Associates and Trend Micro. |
 | | The worm also exploits the same vulnerability in Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser as the Badtrans worm, which first hit computers earlier this year. |
