W32.Zindos.A is a worm that performs a Denial of Service (DoS) attack against the domain, microsoft.com. The worm spreads through the backdoor that Backdoor.Zincite.A opens on TCP port 1034.

Due to bugs in the code, when a system that is infected with Backdoor.Zincite.A becomes infected with Backdoor.Zindos.A, an infinite infection loop is entered, with each infection of Backdoor.Zindos.A re-infecting the system. This may cause the system to become slow and unresponsive.

Note: Backdoor.Zincite.A is a backdoor Trojan horse that W32.Mydoom.M@mm drops.

Looks like this one is attempting to DDOS microsoft.com. The threat level is medium to low.

Its supoose to be worse than originally thought. Link to a piggy back virus

It seems to keep cropping up reptitively. I received 5 e-mails today all identifying themselves a mailer-daemon non delivery of message notices.

I've not paid any attention to them but have been deleting them without looking but I asked around on my floor and everyone's been getting them and many got over 20 of those.

I'd say that, compared to prior years, we've been under virus attack for many more days than before.

I don't get them

I've been getting this constant virus warning from mailer deamon at my one mail service, havent opened it yet, a mail sent to you six times on one day looks pretty suspicious

@s_w ... well you already know what Esqy's gonna say.

Damn, I'm becoming predictable *sigh*.
