Microsoft Updates Worm Killer
Along with the usual patches unveiled Tuesday, Microsoft also updated the Windows Malicious Software Tool, a free utility that detects and deletes a limited number of worms, viruses, Trojans, and rootkits.
April’s edition adds three new pieces of malware to the tool’s target list: the Valla virus, and Reatle and Locksky worms. Microsoft tagged all three as “moderate” threats, the middle of the three-step system the Redmond, Wash. developer uses to rank malicious code.
