Stration

Definition
Stration (also known as Stratio and Warezov) is a family of computer worms that can infect computers running Microsoft Windows, disabling security features and propagating itself to other computers via e-mail attachments.

Overview
This family of worms is unusual in that new variants are being produced at an unprecedented rate, estimated to be up to one every 30 minutes at its peak, and downloaded from remote servers by infected machines to speed propagation. This makes detection and removal a particular challenge for anti-virus software vendors, because new signature files for each variant need to be issued to allow their software to detect them.
