The BadTrans.B worm can execute itself without the need for clicking on its attachment. It also installs a Trojan Horse program that logs users' keystrokes. Another invasion of privacy comes with its ability to reply to unread messages in recipients' inboxes. The rogue email arrives with a variety of subject lines and attachment names. Anti-virus firm Message Labs says BadTrans.B is spreading rapidly after debuting in the UK at the end of last week. They add that its particular combination of characteristics gives rise for real concern. Chief technology officer Mark Sunner says: "BadTrans.B is propagating as quickly as any virus we have seen. "The fact that it can log private details has huge implications for personal and corporate confidentiality." The worm is a variant of a virus first seen in April. ------------------------ Yahoo!
