>JAVA_BeanHive
>JAVA_BeanHive is the second Java virus after JAVA_StrangeBrew. Since

アプレットにも感染するそうです。

> JAVA_IECRASH
> A Java applet, created on 11 November 1998 by someone known as tAmTaM,
> specifically attacks Microsoft Internet Explorer. It attempts to freeze the user痴
> screen and lock up the system. The Java applet itself is small and contains source
> code of less than 40 lines. It will crash Windows 95 and Windows 98 if MS IE 4.0,
> 4.1 or 5.0 Beta is used to browse a Web page which invokes the Java applet. As a
> result, all running applications will be cut off and any unsaved work will be lost.
> On Windows NT, MS IE can be crashed, but the NT operating system usually
> won't be affected. The applet does not work with MS IE version 3.0 or lower.
> The malicious applet is not a virus because it cannot replicate; instead it is
> considered malicious mobile code. Although it can't replicate itself, the applet can
> be included in a web page, or sent via e-mail attachments. Moreover, the compiled
> .class files and the applet source code can be readily downloaded from Internet.
> Trend痴 free on-line virus scanner, HouseCall (http://housecall.antivirus.com),
> detects this applet as JAVA_IECRASH. If you are an InterScan AppletTrap user,
> your product can easily be configured to block the malicious applet.

たった40行でIEを葬り去る強力なウイルスのようです。

＃ 上記ページを読んで思ったこと。
＃ どうして標的はみんな Microsoft 製品なんでしょうか。
＃ 恨みを買う度合いが他のメーカーと違うんでしょうね。
