    For the developer of Symantec anti-virus, novelty is that it is a virus aimed at children. A boy of ten years can scarcely resist opening a message featuring her favorite superhero as a small animation. For its part, Trend Micro also recommends that you delete messages without opening all of these characteristics that are received in the coming days. The only best way is to install a good antivirus that can scan your mails before opening and before sending. In this way you can stay safe.

Meanwhile, the author of this virus will get connect as a remote access trojan for information on your PC: computer name, registered owner, registered company, system information,etc. The cleaning process is a bit complicated, so that in case of infection, you should get others help.
