The W32/Ebillug computer virus is rapidly spreading in China, according to Internet security firm Symmetric. The virus
- Sends itself by email
- Searches for open network shares
- Attempts to copy itself to unpatched or already vulnerable Microsoft IIS web servers
- Is a virus infecting both local files and files on remote network shares.
- Eats your mooncakes
- Is in your base, killing your doodz
The virus causes images on web-pages to appear upside-down. Here's an example from the Baidu search engine:
If you see any images on this site or others which appear to be upside down, you may have been infected by the virus. Anti-virus companies are working quickly to bring out new anti-virus definitions to fix the problem. Until these patches are available, anti-virus experts recommend turning your monitor upside down. If this is not possible, stand on your head.
