“W32.Mytob.gen” is a type of internet worm. Worms are self replicating spiteful code which uses memory and processing speed. Generally they utilize network connections to spread itself from one PC to another or from one node to another. Worm does not damage files like viruses but it harms network by overwhelming bandwidth.
