Symantec finds new AMD processor Virus

Its incredible how diabolical virus makers are turning out to be and you always have to be on guard in case you lose your data. Thesymantec-logo442.jpg worms comes in two versions, aptly called as w32.bounds and w64.bounds whereby they can target 32-bit and 64-bit processors from AMD.


Security researchers at Symantec have discovered a new proof of concept virus that targets processors AMD rather than operating systems. The worm comes in two versions, targeting 32-bit and 64-bit processors from AMD. Symantec refers to the online pests as w32.bounds and w64.bounds. Because it involves proof of concept code, both viruses are rated as low level threats.

Although at this point it concerns harmless proof of concept code, the virus could be used as a starting point for creating malware that affects computers regardless of the operating system that they run, cautioned Vincent Weafer, senior director of Symantec's Security Response Group.
