JS.Spacehero ,it is also called samy worm.It is some different type of worms,that is XSS worms.The worm is a programming code that can self replicated on system.XSS worms is a such a malicious type of virus s which is affect on a system cross site script.That type of virus are firstly cross site script on hot mail.You can use some latest type of anti virus software as well as you can also use some anti spyware software for preventing that type of worms.So you can also use if an XSS worm with a static payload has infected a site, the site can setup an egress filter (outbound response filter) that prevents the malicious payloadfrom being delivered to users.

That type of worms which is affected on cross site script which is firstly affected across the my space social networking site,these type of worms carried the payload.Which means these type of material transmitted over the network like computer where it has contents of data as well as information that identifies the whole material information like its source point as well as its destination point.The payload is the code carried by the exploit to the target computer and then executed there.Samy infected his own user profile with a stored XSS attack that caused viewers of his profile to execute several XmlHttpRequest calls to bypass MySpace’s CSRF protection,add Samy to their friends list, add his name to their list of heroes,and copy the infection code into their profile.

Don't worry if you got any type of JS.Spacehero (XSS) worm then don't installed any type of software without any check the system as well as immediately go to vendor and take some latest version of anti virus which is effective of that type of worms as well as you can also up-to date your firewall version.There are two type of reason of the importance like demonstrated the capability for a XSS vulnerability to become self-propagating and the other reason which is it illuminated the inability of negative validation mechanisms, even good ones, to work with high assurance when permitting rich user data.C&C channel poisoning is an effective way of dealing with distributed malicious agents
