In my previous post, I had mentioned that I got an alert message from Windows Defender about worms attack in my computer. I described about the removal of the first worm, Win32/Gamarue.gen!A. Now, you can get the details of the second one, Win32/Powemet.B!attk. This worm infection has been declared as of severe nature. It infects computers through emails, USB drives, videos listening and clicking on web links in malicious websites. The Microsoft website says only that its Windows Defender detects and does not remove it! It advises to do full scan with Windows Defender or Microsoft Security Essentials. It hasn't given any suggestion for the removal of the malware, that can steal personal particulars from the computers. I wait for a solution from the Microsoft website. But so far there is no update on it. Each time I open the computer, I remove the worm from the Windows Defender box that quarantines it each time! If you have a solution, share it here.
