    VBS/Mawanella which is detected by your AVG antivirus software on your computer system is kind VB script worm. This VBS/Mawanella worm used Microsoft outlook for spreading from one computer system to another computer system. Normally this worm spreads through the email attachments. The attachement file is named as “Mawanella.vbs”. I will suggest you to change your antivirus software for removing this VBS/Mawanella worm

    Re: VBS/Mawanella worm spreads through email

    It is clear from the above reply that the VBS/Mawanella worm. The subject and the body of the infected email attachment is randomly selected by this VBS/Mawanella worm. There is positive point regarding this VBS/Mawanella worm is that if Windows Scripting Host is not installed this worm will not be activated. Once this worm enters your computer system then it will copy itself to the windows system folder. I will suggest you to update your antivirus software for removing this worm from your computer system.

    This VBS/Mawanella worm opens the address book of Microsoft Outlook and copies all the email address present in the address book. VBS/Mawanella worm uses these email address for sending the infected message to other computer system. This worm only replicates itself using the outlook and does not damage any data present on your computer machine.
