David Lawrence: This is David Lawrence with a Panda software virus alert. Panda Labs TruPrevent Technology has discovered Drew.A and Yanz.A low threat worms that both affect all Windows platforms back till 95, including XP then they spread via E-mail and a message with variable characteristics, and through Peer-to-Peer file sharing programs. Now Drew.A deletes files with *.txt* and *.htm* extensions. Yanz.A opens Port 67 and runs any executable file that is remotely downloaded through this port including Malware, Adware. Yanz.A attempts to kill REGEDIT.EXE, and MSCONFIG.EXE. Yanz.A always refers to the singer Sun YanZi. So there you go. Make sure your machine is safe from infection.
