Security and antivirus company F-Secure notes in its latest safety report to the worms only are more and threats on the Internet more and more.

The Finnish security company F-Secure notes in its latest hot rapport that including the worms have become more and more dangerous. Confiker worm is not completely unknown, there are social worms on Facebook and also mobile worms.

The biggest story of the year so far is undoubtedly Conficker worm, also known as Downadup. Conficker is a classic mesh in the sense that the use of security in Microsoft Windows in a way that has not been seen in recent years. It has a few advanced features, including strong encryption and p2p functionality that allows the infected computers can communicate with each other without the need for a central server. It can also update and transform itself.

The authors behind Conficker is clearly professional. They have managed to infect millions of computers and could do whatever they want with them. One mystery remains, however, they have not done anything yet. The question is why, says F-Secure research manager Mikko Hypponen.

Malicious code in the form of worms has also made an entrance on social media. The latest version of Koobface worm, which spreads across Facebook, steals login to Facebook. It log in and steal your pictures and your friends' email addresses. It also creates a false Youtube page of your profile picture from Facebook. Then it sends an email to all your friends who tell me they have been "tagged" in a movie on Youtube. It is dangerous of course, that people usually trust messages they receive from their friends on Facebook, and many fall for the trick.
