Sober-Z

News is reporting new Sober-Z varient, whats being done to provide us protection ? I looked at the newest list of detections to see if it was listed & it was not. ???

PS: I found the name of this new varient here: http://www.technewsworld.com/story/ZkD72ymTVM4ap6/Security-Firms-Warn-of-Looming-Sober-Worm-Threat.xhtml

There isn’t an international convention for virus names.
Some ‘translation’ list of virus names you can find here: http://www.virusbtn.com/resources/vgrep/index.xml

Unfortunately there is a delay from a new virus being detected to being included in this database.
Other possibility is going to www.av-test.org page and download the virus in-the-wild correspondence between the antivirus softwares.
