Anonymous Reader writes “The Cuebot-L and Cuebot-M worms spread via AOL instant messenger, exploiting the vulnerability described in Microsoft’s MS06-040 security bulletin. Once the worms have infected a PC, they turn off the Windows firewall and open a backdoor, allowing remote hackers to gain access and control over the computer.”
