A new instant messaging worm, dubbed Bizex, is making the rounds, targeting ICQ users with invitations to visit a site that can install malicious code on the target computer.

 

Russian antivirus company Kaspersky Labs issued a warning about the virus Thursday, terming it an "epidemic" and estimating that 50,000 PCs worldwide have been affected. But a Symantec security researcher says his company has seen only a handful of Bizex infections and ranks the virus's threat level as low.

"We've seen five infections so far," says Brian Dunphy, a Symantec director. "It's one of several new viruses we've picked up today."
