Oror Worm - highest threat levels snce Bugbear. Malicious viruses are
released every day, some proving more threatening than others. Panda
Software reported maximum threat levels on variants of the Oror Worm.
Oror
is a dangerous new worm which deletes all of the files in the infected
computer's hard disk, as well as every network drive accessible from the
infected machine. It also looks for files of antivirus applications in
order
to eliminate them. Panda Software, a leading antivirus software
producer,
warns that the recent outbreak of the Oror worm has been assigned a
maximum
threat level of 5 out of a possible 5, exceeding those of Bugbear which
has
dominated the virus lists. Panda Software released news that new
variants of
Oror reached maximum threat levels because of its potential for
devastation
upon infection. Source.
