Somewhere, deep inside Nyxem.e's body, there is a 'bad' block of 32 bytes. On the 3rd of every month, exactly 30 minutes after the infected system is started, Nyxem.e will use this block to overwrite all *.doc, *.xls, *.mdb, *.mde, *.ppt, *.pps, *.zip, *.rar, *.pdf, *.psd and *.dmp files on your disks. With the activation date drawing near, just make sure your system is not infected. In my opinion the media is too heavy busy with this virus ... people, we have seen this before and far more destructive! This is not the first time however it definitely could be bad for India, Peru and the US where we have really problematic situations. In Belgium we will have around 900 infections ... let's see if it really will break some important systems.
