What You Should Know About Zotob
Zotob is a worm that targets Windows 2000?based
computers and takes advantage of a security issue that
was addressed by Microsoft Security Bulletin MS05-039.
This worm and its variants install malicious software,
and then search for other computers to infect.
Important If you have installed the update released
with Security Bulletin MS05-039, you are already
protected from Zotob and its variants. If you are
using any supported version of Windows other than
Windows 2000, you are not at risk from Zotob and its
variants. As part of our Software Security Incident
Response Process, our investigation has determined
that only a small number of customers have been
affected, and Microsoft security professionals are
working directly with them. We have seen no indication
of widespread impact to the Internet.
