Malware changes code to avoid detection
October 30, 2006 — 8:01pm ET
There's a tricky new malware floating around the Internet these days. According to security experts the "Warezov," "Stration" and "Stratio" worms are low in risk, but high in headaches when it comes to eradicating the pesky mass-mailing worms. The reason is that it's impossible to decipher the worms' code as it is rewritten continually and can download new versions of the code as often as every 30 minutes. A security firm has identified over 200 versions at present and the worm is being cited as one of the most common pieces of malicious code for the month of October.
