Top 10 most prevalent global malware
1. TROJ_GENERIC
Malware Type: Trojan
This is the Trend Micro generic detection for low-threat Trojans
2. ADW_WEBSEARCH.K
Malware Type: Adware
This adware application is a .DLL file that arrives on a system packaged with the MyWebSearch.com toolbar installer. It installs components, including an application that displays pop-up advertisements depending on an affected user's browsing habits.
It also installs itself as a browser helper object (BHO) by creating certain registry keys.
3. WORM_NYXEM.E
Malware Type: Worm
This worm propagates by attaching copies of itself to email messages that it sends to target addresses, using its own SMTP engine. Through this SMTP engine, it is able to easily send the email message without using other mailing applications, such as Microsoft Outlook.
4. HTML_NETSKY.P
Malware Type: HTML
This HTML malware arrives as an email with an executable file attachment that is detected by Trend Micro as WORM_NETSKY.P. It exploits a known vulnerability in Internet Explorer versions 5.01 and 5.5 known as the Automatic Execution of Embedded MIME Type. This vulnerability causes Internet Explorer to automatically run executable file attachments in email messages.
5. WORM_NETSKY.DAM
Malware Type: Worm
This is Trend Micro's detection for the damaged samples of WORM_NETSKY variants. It runs on Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000 and XP.
6. PE_PARITE.A
Malware Type: Worm
This file infector infects .EXE and .SCR files on an infected system and on remote network shares with read and write access. It makes use of port 30167 in order to access network shares. It stays in memory by injecting itself into EXPLORER.EXE; thus, hiding its running process.
7. WORM_RONTKBR.GEN

9. WORM_ANIG.A
Malware Type: Worm
This memory-resident worm propagates by dropping copies of itself in shared network drives. It steals login information and saves the obtained data in a file, which can be retrieved by a remote user. Its keylogger component substitutes the standard Microsoft Graphical Identification and Authentication DLL (MSGINA.DLL) to carry out its information-stealing routine.
10. PAK_GENERIC.001
