P2P News: P2P Users Beware Nopir-B Worn Will Eat Your Files!

Quote:


	Vigilante virus writers have launched an offensive against file traders with the release of a worm that deletes MP3 files on infected PCs. The Nopir-B worm, which appears to have originated in France, poses on P2P networks as a program to make copies of commercial DVDs. In reality the application offers no such function. Instead it attempts to delete MP3 music files on infected PCs. Nopir-B also attempts to disable various system utilities and wipe .COM programs whilst displaying an anti-piracy graphic. Nopir-B only infects Windows machines.
