Why do you call a .scr you have to manually install a "worm"?
http://www.webopedia.com/DidYouKnow/Internet/2004/virus.asp " A worm is similar to a virus by its design, and is considered to be a sub-class of a virus. Worms spread from computer to computer, but unlike a virus, it has the ability to travel without any help from a person. A worm takes advantage of file or information transport features on your system, which allows it to travel unaided. " BlackWorm has a LAN infection vector. No action on the part of the user of the box on the LAN must happen for them to "get got", thus this is a worm. -charles _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
