  • Netsky.B infections spread - The worm first appeared on February 17 and appears to have originated in the Netherlands. MessageLabs, an e-mail management company, claims to have stopped more than 1.3 million e-mail since the virus started spreading, and believes the infection rate is increasing rapidly.

The worm does require the user to open the attachment with the e-mail.  Netsky.B scans the hard drives and shared drives of an infected computer for e-mail addresses and then uses its own SMTP engine to mail itself to those addresses.
