Assignment Paper 1

Using a web browser, perform some research on a newer malware variant that has been

reported by a major malware containment vendor. Using a search engine go to the vendor’s web

site;this could be Symantec, McAfee, or any of their competitors. Visit one malware prevention

software vendor. Search for the newest malware variants and pick one. Note its name and try to

understand how it works. Now look for information about that same malware from at least one

other vendor. Were you able to see this malware at both vendors? If so, are there any differences

in how they are reported between the two vendors?
