Missing information
How does it infect a computer? Must the user install it, or does it install itself?
Also, what is the target OS? Windows? Linux? OS/2?
- If the user/ne'er-do-well have to install it by hand, then we can rest better. On the other hand, if it can install itself when you browse the Wibbly Wobbly Web, then simply blocking executables and downloads at firewall level and you should be safe.
- If it can download and install itself, what are the infection vectors it take to install itself? Otherwise this study is meaningless, and just scaremongering.
- Target OS is too vague. We all have to assume Windows since the majority of viruses is written to target windows. But it will be nice to know for sure.
FAIL because it's scaremongering.
