    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.
