CONTEST IS OVER!

And the Winners Are:

The right answer was:

Win32.Worm.Zimuse.A combines the destructive behavior of a virus with the spreading mechanisms of a worm. There are two known variants of this virus, which enters the computer as a harmless IQ test. Once executed, the worm creates between seven and eleven copies of itself (depending on the variant) in critical areas of the Windows system. Win32.Worm.Zimuse.A is an extremely dangerous piece of malware. Unlike average worms, Win32.Worm.Zimuse.A could lead to severe data loss as it overwrites the first 50 KB of the Master Boot Record - a key zone of the hard disk drive.

Thank You All for Participating, and stay tuned for another great contest this week!
