Qakbot is a new worm affecting all versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system.
As with most worms, it attempts to spread from computer to computer and infects each PC along the way. Qakbot can spread via network shares and other shared folders/drives on a network.
Once Qakbot infects a PC, it can steal private data from the computer, it can open a backdoor and download further harmful malware and files to the infected computer.
As well as downloading files to an infected computer, Qakbot will also add registry entries to run the files on startup.
As with many worms and trojans, you may be completely unaware of infection. These programs may then download more dangerous malware to your computer such as keyloggers, so always scan your PC on a regular basis.
