| Hello all,

| The attached file seems to be a variant of AntiQFX
| worm.
|
| AntiQFX Worm masquerades as
| an old dos utilitly "MSCDEX.EXE". Basically
| spreads via shared networks and delets a few
| files which belong to a couple of Photo Editting
| softwares.
| Its PE-Packed and has an anti-deletion routine.
|
| So you might be guessing whats the big deal!!
|
| Look closely and you'll see that i've attached this
| file using my yahoo account. Which happens to be
| protected by NAV !!!
|
| The following link clearly states that NAV detects
| this worm since 2002 !!!
|
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.antiqfx.f.worm.html
|
| Same thing is with AVP, ClamV & F-Prot.
|
| Only Sophos detects this file as AntiQFX.F variant.
|
| So keep an eye friends, this incident has really
| made me have second thoughts about antivirus softwares
| and their reliability.
|

| Regards,
| X!
