Title: Yimp.b
Type: Worms	Severity scale: (61 / 100)

Yimp.b is an Internet worm, which spreads through instant messages sent using the AIM or Yahoo! Messenger program. The victim receives a message containing a link to a malicious file. Once he or she clicks on a link and executes a file, the worm immediately installs itself to the system and runs a spreading routine. Yimp.b sends bogus instant messages to all the user's contacts. Then it runs a payload. It drops and installs an adware parasite and unsolicited software. Yimp.b automatically runs on every Windows startup.
