Swen Description and Removal Instructions
Swen is an Internet worm. It spreads by e-mail, via KaZaA file-sharing application and through IRC channels. It also can place infected files on vulnerable PCs found in a local network. The worm installs itself to the computer. It imitates Microsoft update pack and comes in a letter, that imitates Microsoft security advisory. Then Swen sends its copies to e-mail addresses found in a computer, infects mIRC chat client and KaZaA file-sharing software and uses this software to distribute itself to other users. The worm can terminate all antivirus and security-related processes. It also connects to the author's web server.
