More Information

W32/Bobandy-F is a mass-mailing worm for the Windows platform.

W32/Bobandy-F spreads by emailing itself to the email addresses harvested from the infected computer.

W32/Bobandy-F also attempts to spread by coping itself to the available folders popular used by Peer to Peer (P2P) filesharing applications.
