The new computer worm, named Kama Sutra, is scheduled to attack infected systems Friday, 3 February. The worm, also known as Blackworm, Nyxem-D and W32.blackmail.e, is aimed at Windows-based computers and spreads by copying itself to shared network locations and mass emailing itself to email addresses on these systems.
Though potentially quite damaging to a system, large scale infection of the worm is not expected and the current over-reaction by many members of the anti-virus community is unwarranted, according to anti-virus company BitDefender.
The Kama Sutra worm is designed to overwrite all .doc, .xls, .mdb, .mde, .ppt, .pps, .zip, .rar, .pdf, .psd, and .dmp files. It has gained the attention of the anti-virus community because of its ability to deceive Windows through phony digital signatures, and seems to have been created for the sole purpose of doing damage and not for commercial gain. It has also gained attention in both the general and technology press due to a unique Website that supposedly shows a running counter of infected computers, as well as its reliance on sexually suggestive emails which spread the virus.
Within the past week, a great deal of media attention has been given to the danger of this worm. While there is a potential of damage if a computer is infected, BitDefender, one of the first companies to offer a free tool for detecting and cleansing the virus from systems, believes that the worm is not as dangerous or widespread as has been reported and can easily be blocked with up-to-date anti-virus software.
Bogdan Dumitru, CTO, BitDefender, said, "Some members of the anti-virus community have initiated a wholesale panic around this threat, and we absolutely feel this is nothing but over-reaction. There is no doubt that this is an interesting virus due to the fact that we do not often see pure destructive viruses developed with no financial gain in mind anymore, and it has an interesting counter that shows how many systems are infected. But there is no reason to trust this site to be truthful. Without a suggestive name and a couple of neat designs, this worm is nothing more than a run-of-the-mill attack that anyone with anti-virus software will stop."

a good way to play safe is to check webmail before u download onto Outlook, etc. Besides, i have also blocked the senders of worms. All anti-virus tools are created after the virus / worm is created - so its really difficult to stay clean
Grisoft, developer of AVG Anti-virus, released a program update on January 16 that is supposed to be able to protect your PC from the KamaSutra virus. In the end, I agree, the best protection against any virus is being careful in opening messages with attachments from unknown senders.
We are already facing this virus (W32.blackmail.e) infection at our location. It has infected almost every system in our company. The first thing it does is that it removes any anti-virus program installed on the system.we remove the virus with the help of MS antispyware in win2000 but it not working .but it gets back on the system. Again and again. Please suggest what is the exact solution for this?
Thanks!! and nice information. My only request give the download details of the tool whcih detects/scan for the virus and remove it if got attacked. Also is there any tool which specifies that our sytem got attacked with virus, since i thoroughly scanned my computer with MaCfee virus scan found nothing, but still i am not sure of that.
Pravin Raj,
This is a worm with a destructive payload. On the third of everymonth it will activate and perform the following actions
- Disable Anti-virus Programs
- Steal e-mail addresses from your outlook and mail itself out to other ppl.
- Destroy your word, xls, ppt, pdf data files etc.
Prevention tips
- Update youranti-virus - get latest signatures
- change system date to the 4th
- take the day off ;)
How does it spread?-
-------------------
- by opening infected e-mails with suggestive subjects such as
- my nude pix
- Kamasutra pictures
- HOt video
- my wife etc.
Hope this helps
Stay Safe

We are already facing this virus (W32.blackmail.e) infection at our location. It has infected almost every system in our company. The first thing it does is that it removes any anti-virus program installed on the system, be it Norton, be it McAfee or any known AV software. Then starts sending bulk of e-mails from the same system. Removes many of the .doc and .exe files. NAV provides a fixing tool for the same but it gets back on the system. Again and again we have to install the AV. Please suggest what is the exact solution for this....
Hi Nagesh,
I visit Symantec where W32.Blackmal.E removal tool is available, I am not too sure that it will positively work or not. Lets have try this. If you find anything good plz get me inform immed and ASAP on aairan@marketrx.com
Here is some information on the worm Nyxem.E which may also be referred to
as the MyWife.E or the Kama Sutra worm.
What is it?
Nyxem.e or MyWife.E is a mass mailer worm. The worm tries to entice users
through social engineering efforts into opening an attached file in email.
If the recipient opens the file or executable, the worm sends itself to all
the contacts that are contained in the system?s address book. The worm
also spreads over writeable network shares.
When is it expected to strike?
The worm Nyxem.E is predicted to execute on Feb 3rd and the 3rd day of each
month after as long as it is on the system.
What does it do?
Once active, Nyxem will try to delete all Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF
file types from a compromised PC. The multifaceted malicious software will
also attempt to propagate itself, both through e-mail and as a network
worm.
Is this a credible threat?
We need to treat this as a credible threat due to the number of reported
infections this week. Among all security vendors the reported infections
is well over 500k.
How do we clean and remove the threat?
Current virus definitions will clean and prevent this issue.
Recommendations for cleaning this threat are:
