Here are 10 Computer Viruses Most Dangerous in the World in the last year 2010-2011. Where growth variants threat or the threat of computer viruses and the like increasingly sophisticated and widespread. Not only intended for one platform only, but to other operating systems besides Windows. This becomes the cause of the increase in activity associated with the virtual world.

The growing threat level in different forms to reach a high level and almost predictable even endanger human life will trigger a cyber war. Stuxnet virus, for example, into the SCADA system commonly used in various infrastructure facilities such as power plant automation systems, industrial machinery, and so forth. In fact, Stuxnet also infiltrate into the office of Iran’s nuclear facilities and potentially a small error may trigger a nuclear danger.

Here are 10 Computer Viruses Most Dangerous in the World in the last year 2010-2011. Perhaps one of them to infect our computers!

1. Win32/Conficker.AA – Percentage of Detection in 2010: 6.85%

Win32/Conficker.AA is a worm that spreads through shared folders and mobile media devices. The worm entered into a computer by exploiting vulnerabilities in the Server Service. After Conficker.AA successful, the sending computer will perform remote control of victim computers that have been infected and downloading.

2. Win32/Conficker.AE – Percentage of Detection of the Year 2010: 6.76%

Win32/Conficker.AE is a worm that is also one of Conficker.AA variant, with the modus operandi of spreading like a way of distributing Conficker.AA

3. Win32/Agent – Percentage of Detection of the Year 2010: 3.48%

According to the description of the results of ESET NOD32 as malware detection is generic, which is known among the large family of malware with the user’s ability to steal data from infected PCs. To do that malware is usually going menperbanyak himself then places himself in the temporary folder and add the registry keys that are similar to the malware file or similar to the results files to copy itself at random it was then put yourself in the system folders other operations so that malware can “work” in every time the system start up.

Malware is able to mutate into a series of other threat, its spread through a series of intermediaries that it’s almost impossible to remove it only by using one way only. To prevent this, use a good security device with a complete anti-malware, do not forget to always patch, disable autorun, and that is not less important is, think carefully before you click anything.

4. Win32/Conficker.Gen – Percentage of Detection of the Year 2010: 3.26%

Win32/Conficker.Gen is one variant of Conficker having a similar modus operandi in infecting the victim’s computer. Similarly, also exploited the same vulnerability that the vulnerability in Server Service.

5. Win32/Conficker.X – Percentage of Detection of the Year 2010: 2.97%,

Threat this one is a worm that attacks a network computer and spreads by exploiting vulnerabilities in Windows operating system from Microsoft. The vulnerability specifically the RPC subsystem and can be entered remotely by an attacker. Attackers can launch attacks without using a valid identity. Threat is able to make contact with the web servers to download malicious programs that others using the domain name is not official.

6. Win32/VB – Percentage of Detection of the Year 2010: 2.74%

Worm Win32.VB created with Visual Basic programming language and the ability to spread quickly, but caused no major problems. Threat is usually worked to spread spam. Because of the risks that that’s not great, most cases can be handled himself Win32/VB by the user by using antivirus or security devices to stop movement at the corporate gateways. Malware domestically produced many included in this species.

7. INF / Conficker – Percentage of Detection in 2010: 2.14%

INF / Conficker is the autorun.inf file that spread the worm Conficker. Results of detection is also used to parse a set of malware that use the file autorun.inf as a way to enter and infect personal computers. These files contain information on the program developed to be able to run in a time of mobile devices (eg USB flash disks) and other similar devices accessed by users who use Windows-based PC.

8. Win32/Alman.NAB – Percentage of Detection of the Year 2010: 2.08%

Viruses that infect files. EXE, and spread through the media that are used together in a computer network. When active virus, the virus will download other malicious programs. This virus is also a rootkit. The virus will hide both process and the files associated with the virus. Win32/Alman.NAB also has another name that is: Downloader.Agent.LZM, Trojan.DL.Agent.UJE, Virus: W32/Alman.B, W32/Almanahe, W32/QQPass.ADW.worm, W32/Rectix.A

9. Win32/Stuxnet.A – Percentage of Detection of the Year 2010: 2.02%

Win32/Stuxnet.A is a worm that spread widely through mobile media devices. The modus operandi of this worm was also spread by exploiting vulnerabilities in computer operating systems from targeted attacks. Vulnerability that is exploited in CVE-2010-2568. Stuxnet is one type of malware with a specific target (targeted malware) are quite popular in the year 2010 as targeted in SCADA automation system that is widely used in industry.

10. INF / Autorun.gen – Percentage of Detection of the Year 2010: 1.91%

Detection of INF / Autorun.Gen used to describe a series of malware that uses the autorun file as a way to confirm the target-PC computers which successfully attacked. These files contain information on the program developed to be able to run in a time of mobile devices (eg USB flash disks and other similar devices accessed by users who use Windows operating system.
