W32.Zindos.A is a worm that performs a Denial of Service (DoS) attack against the domain, microsoft.com. The worm spreads through the backdoor that
Backdoor.Zincite.A opens on TCP port 1034.
Due to bugs in the code, when a system that is infected with Backdoor.Zincite.A becomes infected with W32.Zindos.A, an infinite infection loop is entered, with each infection of W32.Zindos.A re-infecting the system. This may cause the system to become slow and unresponsive.
Note: Backdoor.Zincite.A is a backdoor Trojan horse that
W32.Mydoom.M@mm drops.
