These are virus variants that have caused computer malfunctions at several major news agencies and companies in the US on August 16.Microsoft, McAfee and Symantec have previously claimed that the damage is negligible and cannot be spread as widely as the dangerous software SQL Slammer or MyDoom.However, they themselves were worried when they discovered IRCbot yesterday.According to McAfee, the worm appeared and worked only seven days after Microsoft released a security bulletin, which was faster than Sasser (14 days).

When IRCbot is enabled, it will connect to the remote IRC server and wait there for the new instruction.If MS05-39 is encountered, the program is capable of causing the PC to constantly boot multiple times.It can also replicate itself to the Windows system directory, such as C: WindowsSystem32 on Windows XP, with the WINTBP.EXE file to exploit the error.
