Besides destroying files, the worm also attempts to disable anti-virus software so that it stops updating, delete important Windows registry entries and it can also disable the mouse and keyboard of infected PCs. It has also been reported that some Internet users have already lost important files after becoming infected by the Nyxem worm mainly because the clock time on their computer was wrong.
