AVVISO VIRUS:
The Pinkslipbot worm (aka Qakbot, Akbot, Qbot) is capable of spreading over network shares, downloading files, and updating its software. Additionally, it is capable of receiving back door commands from its IRC command and control center. It attempts to steal user information and upload it to FTP sites.

Many Pinkslipbot infections had been reported to be propagated by exploiting web related vulnerabilities.

Pinkslipbot is known to spread over open shares such as C$ and ADMIN$. If an open network share is found, Pinkslipbot related files are copied over to the share and executed remotely.

Further information about the worm, its propagation, mitigation, and remediation are available in KnowledgeBase article PD22960:

Invitiamo pertanto ad AGGIORNARE i sistemi antivirus, soprattutto delle macchine che vengono usate raramente.
