Win32/Bobax

Windows Defender Antivirus detects and removes this threat.

 

Win32/Bobax is a family of mass-mailing network worms that target certain versions of Microsoft Windows.

 

The worm can spread by sending a copy of itself as an attachment to email addresses gathered from an infected computer. It can also spread by exploiting several Windows vulnerabilities. The worm can download and run malicious files from Web sites, and can also open a backdoor to give attackers access to use the infected computer.
