McAfee.com has seen an OUTBREAK of computers infected with
W32/Goner@MM, also known as Pentagone, Goner or Gone. This is
a NEW, HIGH RISK virus that spreads via Microsoft Outlook
email and ICQ instant messaging programs.
Goner has a DESTRUCTIVE PAYLOAD. When the attachment is opened,
it will look for a variety of anti-virus, firewall and other
security programs and attempt to delete them, along with ALL
FILES in the same directory. This worm will also place a trojan,
REMOTE32.INI, on the system, which contains instructions to attempt
Denial-of-Service attacks on other IRC users.
