Most dangerous virus is one, for which AVs has no definitions and their Heuristics cant catch it and also there are no updates for it.

u can remove the sasser worm using the McAffee Stinger this is not a full fleged anti virus tool but it does delete the sasser worm

i have used it in my computer to remove this worm as well as many more backdoor trojans

chinmay · 07-05-2005, 09:17 AM

i think u haven't update ur virus definitions dats why those AV doesn't detect the virus...

enoonmai · 07-05-2005, 11:39 AM

As swatkat said, the worst viruses are those that don't have a "fix" for them, called "In the Wild" viruses. They are most damaging because by the time the fix is out, the virus would have spread far and damaged/infected millions of computers across the planet. As of now however, the most damaging virus to date has been MyDoom. Removal tools for most viruses are provided by antivirus software companies for free on their web sites along with removal instructions. Its always recommended that you install a antivirus/firewall combo and keep it updated with the latest updates.

how destructive is the new sober worm ??
i heard that its been spreading like anything these days

enoonmai · 07-05-2005, 12:06 PM

The virus is being evaluated to be upped to a higher category/high-risk virus, but the infection level percentages of email are still the same. Most AV companies are facing the new Sober.P variant, which is really spreading pretty fast these days and is on top of the virus charts as of now, when it comes to being watched. While most businesses/savvy computer users are protected, the virus is said to turn off Symantec's system protection as well as the Windows firewall, so that might mean a huge percentage of home/SOHO users might fall prey to the new strain. It's still being watched.

sujithtom · 11-05-2005, 08:49 AM

Well i have heard of a very unpopular virus. It sorta increases ur hard disks revolution speed (don't ask me how) and there by evntually resulting in buring up ur hard disk.

It may be a rumor though

huzaifa b arab · 11-05-2005, 12:10 PM

W32.PASSMA (common) but the worst i've seen.
Deletes All .exe's including Service manager.

Netjunkie · 14-05-2005, 10:54 PM

I once heard of a virus that damages the track 0 of your harddisk,rendering the disk useless.

h4xbox · 15-05-2005, 12:57 AM

I should say that virus which has no solution as said by swatkat is a sweet defn for dangerous viruses..did u know that there are old viruses that can finish yo hdd and motherboard within a reboot... and nobody wud imagine a formatting virus....pretty funny(Iam working on it )

For me yaha worm released by indian gang was one of the most dreadful worm atlest forr pakistani govt sites during the attack period.

atool · 15-05-2005, 01:32 AM
