Zafi.D Virus

The new variant of Zafi worm - Zafi.D - is spreading. While the original Zafi.A uses only Hungarian, the new Zafi.D spreads in email in English, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Swedish and several other languages. The worm sends itself in christmas wish messages attached as .pif, .cmd, .bat, .com or .zip file. It can display a decoy message in message box saying "Error in packed file!" Zafi-D, which accounts for 46.6 percent of the total viruses on the internet by April 2005. Perhaps the success of these worms lies in their ability to spread in multiple languages, catching out unwary users all over the world.
