Suspicious Activity
The Pushdo worm is a trojan horse that arrives via a malicious web site visited by the host computer. The worm is used to steal information and launch DDoS attacks against other computers, as well as updates itself through a remote server.
Use an up-to-date antivirus application to determine if the victim's computer is infected by Pushdo. If the application detects the malware, follow its instructions to disinfect and repair the computer.
