"A worm that debuted Tuesday had quickly climbed the malware chart to the number three spot by Wednesday, a Finnish security company said. With a variety of names -- F-Secure calls it VB.bi, Symantec dubs it Blackmal.e, McAfee labels it MyWife.d -- the worm, said Helsinki-based F-Secure, is a simple Visual Basic (VB) construction that arrives as an e-mail file attachment.
The worm also spreads through shared folders, and when activated tries to disable a number of security programs, including those sold by Symantec, McAfee, Trend Micro, and Kaspersky Labs... Symantec, which tagged the worm with a "2" in its 1 through 5 threat scale, has posted a free-of-charge removal tool on its Web site that deletes all traces of the malware."
