For a start it will not necessarily be a virus. The attack will come in the form of a blended attack; this is where a combination of virus, worm and /or Trojan is used. It will probably start life as a worm, since it will almost certainly be spread directly from computer to computer but will almost certainly have virus and Trojan elements. The attack will change during the course of the life of the malware so that at times it may be pure worm and at others a pure Trojan.
In the case of the “killer virus” we are looking at a combination of code that will be particularly devastating. As we will be looking at a combination of virus, worm and Trojan, It is for this reason we will therefore refer to this particular form of attack as the killer “Virus”.
