Cellery worm disguised as TetrisYou have been warned! A worm (malicious program) is spreading on windows machines, disguised as the popular game "Tetris".

While users are playing, the worm scans the network to find new machines to infect. At the moment, it has not spread too much.

This worm does no harm the PC or the data it contains. However, if the network becomes heavily infected, traffic could slow down. Worms attacks the resources of a machine by using processing cycles or storage space (memory, hard drive), rather than attacking the data.
