Iksmas
Posted February 17, 2009
Iksmas is what people who live near the Ik River is Russia call Christmas. Whoops, sorry. Iksmas is a nasty worm spreading onto computers all over the world.
According to Panda Security, the Iksmas worm is sent in an email saying that Barack Obama has refused to be president. This was posted on 19/01/2009 so the worm may now have a more topical subject that it uses to to trick you into opening a fake video, so be on the lookout for any news story in your inbox that sounds to good to be true. Also, don’t open anything called barakspeech.exe
Trying to manually remove the Iksmas worm is pointless as there is little information on what files to remove so I recommend you use Spyware Doctor to remove Iksmas for you.
