Mytob.W_2 is a Virus. Virus is a type of malware that, when executed, replicates by inserting copies of itself (possibly modified) into other computer programs, data files, or the boot sector of the hard drive; when this replication succeeds, the affected areas are then said to be "infected". Virus writers use social engineering and exploit detailed knowledge of security vulnerabilities to gain access to their hosts' computing resources.
