Kaspersky Lab detects a new modification of Kido, a.k.a conficker virus. This latest variant is different from the previous because it adds a Trojan function to the previous version of the dangerous program.
Net-Worm.Win32.Kido.ip, Net-Worm.Win32.Kido.iq, and other variants are modified forms of Kido, which can prevent the antivirus products on the infected machine.
Vitaly Kamluk, senior expert of the Kaspersky antivirus, said so far the new version of Kido does not indicate a spreading threat. "However, if the current version of Kido is replaced by the latest variant, it is very difficult to fight the maker of this dangerous program," he added.
The Kido worm has a functionality of Trojan downnloader, meaning it sends a dangerous program to infect computers. The infection of Kido was first detected in November 2008.
