What does a 'black worm' virus affect ?

On the 3rd day of any month, approximately 30 minutes after an infected system is started, the worm overwrites files on local drives with the following extensions with the text "DATA Error [47 0F 94 93 F4 K5]":\n\nDOC \nXLS \nMDB \nMDE \nPPT \nPPS \nZIP \nRAR \nPDF \nPSD \nDMP \nTesting confirms that this payload does not affect mapped network drives.\n\nIt is programmed to attack every 3rd day on the month.\n- It is actually a WORM.\n- It is not as much effective as it expected.\n- Once a system infected by the worm all word, excel, powerpoint and Pdf file will be corrupted.\n- The mouse and keyboard will be locked and will force to restart the system.\n- Very little complaints made about the infections on this worm(about 3000 complaints)\n- In India and the state of Andhra Pradesh reported its database was locked. This explained becuase of the lack of prevention measurement taken by its engineers.\n- Did your system got affected by this virus?\n- Let me know if you receive any message on this.\n- wish you virus free computing..........!

No - the virus would die when exposed to the air.  If that didn't work, the washing machine would also kill the virus.  Finally, if that didn't work - then the dryer would kill it.  Don't worry.\n\nHPV is transmitted by direct contact with the warts or infected area.

worms that infest humans are transmitted through contact with feces

Usually if Norton can fix it, it will or it will "build a wall around it" by putting it in quarantine.  If so, your computer will be fine.  If the virus scan cannot find the virus, you should be good!

That is far to complex to explain here in a short answer. I will state this much: DNA of the virus. If it mutates it can cross species. If you are really interested, read up on it. It is a very facinating topic.

There are several viruses that infect insects, my favorite being Cricket paralysis virus because I have no idea how anybody could write a grant proposal for looking into the molecular basis for crickets that don't move...anyhow, most antibacterial and antifungal drugs used on humans should work every bit as well on insects, so I guess we could probably treat them for many infections...

I believe they are in the process of trying out a new format. Their homepage changed on mine browser also at home. Although at work I still have the same browser as before. I don't think a virus could cause something like that to happen.

Hi, \n\n  Its possible. They live in your intestine and use the nutrition that you eat to live. They can cause the symptoms that you described. She did give you the right medicine to treat you. Worms are more of an occurrence that happen to small children that play outside in the dirt and put their hands in their mouth before washing them. I think you'll be fine.

each virus is different, so you'd need to know which one it was...or know in-depth how your os works (and that is a book, not a post at yahoo answers)

I'd not worry about which are and which aren't (infected)...I'd run a virus program that scans, cleans, disinfects and deletes infected files on ALL computers.  That way you have no worries about trying to figure out which ones are, or aren't, and cover all the bases in one swoop!\n\nPS...try Panda Virus Scan, the professional edition...it's the best on the market, with hourly updates on newest viruses!

it helps when you don't keep us in the dark. you should have said which virus (name). then we could have given a good answer. some are so nasty they require special software to get rid of them. normal virus scanners can't detect or delete them.

The World's Worst Viruses\n\n\nHere's a look at ten of the most malignant viruses and worms of all time.\n10. Surreptitious Sircam\n\nSircam appeared in July 2001 on PCs running Windows 95, 98, and Me. The worm appeared in e-mail in-boxes with an attachment; the body of the message was in Spanish or English. Typical greetings included "Hi! How are you?" and "Hola como estas?" If you launched the attachment, Sircam installed itself on the infected computer, then grabbed random documents and sent them out to e-mail addresses it captured from your address book. It also occasionally deleted files and filled the infected computer's hard drive with gibberish. Visit Symantec's Security Response for instructions on how to remove Sircam.\n9. Red Raider\n\nCode Red burned brightly in the summer of 2001, infecting hundreds of thousands of computers--mainly on corporate networks. Code Red slithered through a hole in Internet Information Server (IIS) software, which is widely used to power Internet servers, then scanned the Internet for vulnerable systems to infect and continue the process. The worm used contaminated PCs as weapons in denial of service attacks--flooding a Web site with a barrage of information requests. The original target was the official White House Web site, but government officials changed the site's IP address to thwart the attack.\n\nThe worm exploited a weakness in the IIS software (which has since been fixed with a patch from Microsoft) that allowed an intruder to run arbitrary code on a victimized computer. Multiple variants of this worm now exist. Visit Symantec's Security Response for instructions on how to protect your system from Code Red.\n8. Bad Benjamin\n\nBenjamin--a new breed of worm--was let loose in May 2002, and it affected users of the popular file-sharing program Kazaa. The crafty worm posed as popular music and movie files. Kazaa users thought they were downloading a media file to their machines, but they got the imposter instead. It then set up a Kazaa share folder and stuffed it with copies of itself posing as popular music and movie files, which other Kazaa users would download. It congested the system's network connection and would ultimately fill up a hard drive. Visit Symantec's Security Response for instructions on how to remove Benjamin.\n7. Numbing Nimda\n\nNimda (also known as the Concept Virus) appeared in September 2001, attacking tens of thousands of servers and hundreds of thousands of PCs. The worm modified Web documents and executable files, then created numerous copies of itself. The worm spread as an embedded attachment in an HTML e-mail message that would execute as soon as the recipient opened the message (unlike the typical attached virus that requires manual launching of the attachment). It also moved via server-to-server Web traffic, infected shared hard drives on networks, and downloaded itself to users browsing Web pages hosted on infected servers. Nimda soon inspired a crowd of imitators that followed the same pattern. Visit Symantec's Security Response for the Nimda removal tool.\n6. Tennis Anyone?\n\nThe Anna Kournikova (or VBS.SST@mm) worm, appearing in February 2001, didn't cause data loss, although in the process of boosting the profile of its namesake, the Russian tennis player, it did cause embarrassment and disruption for many personal and business users. The worm showed up in Microsoft Outlook users' e-mail in-boxes with an attachment (supposedly a picture of Kournikova). The attachment proved hard to resist. The result? Clicking the bogus attachment sent copies of the worm via e-mail to all addresses found in the victim's Outlook address book. Kournikova also brought about a number of copycat variants. Visit Symantec's Security Response for instructions on how to remove Kournikova.\n\nMost worm creators have never been identified, but a 21-year-old Dutchman, Jan de Wit, admitted to unleashing
