Virus Screensaver Playboy

Virus Screensaver Playboy

Security vendor Sophos warns internet users to be wary of a worm spread by pretending to be a "screensaver" with "bait" as a picture of two sexy female wrestlers.

The virus, called Elitper.D, spreads through peer-to-peer networks and chat channels under the "camouflage" category of two women, Torrie Wilson and Sable. These two blonde professional fighters are very popular and have appeared several times on the cover of the porn magazine Playboy. Sable, a former Guess brand jeans designer, whose real name is Rena Mero. And Torrie Wilson has appeared on tens of thousands of websites with countless photo and video clips.

Another noteworthy point in Elitper.D is that if you distribute it via e-mail, it disguises as a Microsoft Windows XP SP2 fix.

When hacked into the computer, Elitper.D made some changes to the security settings, blocking access to certain websites and opening the victim PC for future attacks.
