After our last artical on the ExploreZip Virus, it has been proven that the virus is more virulent and destructive than initially believed. It was initially thought that the virus, which arrives as an e-mail attachment called Zipped_files.exe, propogated itself only by replying to e-mails sent to infected machines. However, it later emerged that once the virus has infected a network attached machine, it can infect other machines on the network and attack their files without user interaction. Expert say this virus capitalised on the strengths of the global Melissa infection - an indication that a new, even more powerful variant may be on its way!
