When analyzing malware, it is not uncommon to stumble across one that wants to propagate some sort of message (I am sure everybody remembers W32/Voterai worm and its malicious political propaganda ;). Well, the W32/Agnub.worm certainly does not bring any novelty to this category of malware.

It is the kind of message that is infuriating and insulting. In fact, the W32/Agnub.worm claims to push for peace & love, and, after a successful infection, greets the victim at every boot of the machine with a “nice and poetic” text message:

It is rather sad to see this type of a messages from a malware that, among other things, deletes your files. In other words, not only does the victim get the damage, but they also get teased!!

The “best” part, if we can use this expression, can be found by scrolling down to the end of the “peaceful” message:

Maybe it’s better not to damage other people’s computers at all rather than apologizing later for having done it.
