Virus!


Recommended Posts

OK so this could go better in Computer desk, sue me- but it'll be seen more here.

Guys look out because there's a new virus circulating. I got 11 infected E-Mails on my yahoo acount, which I don't give out to many people. I haven't even checked my even less known hotmail account. But anyways, here's what you need to know:

The email will have the following characteristics:

From: may be a spoofed from address

Subject:

(one of the following)

test

hi

hello

Mail Delivery System

Mail Transaction Failed

Server Report

Status

Error

Message:

(one of the following)

Mail transaction failed. Partial message is available.

The message contains Unicode characters and has been sent as a binary attachment.

The message cannot be represented in 7-bit ASCII encoding and has been sent as a binary attachment.

Attachment:

(one of the following)

document

readme

doc

text

file

data

test

message

body

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notes:

The attachment may have two suffixes. If so, the first suffix will be one of the following:

.htm

.txt

.doc

The worm will always end with one of the following suffixes:

.pif

.scr

.exe

.cmd

.bat

.zip

The icon displayed will look like the following:

unless the worm has .exe or .scr for an extension, in which case the file will use the following icon:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Copies itself to Kazaa download folder as one of the following files:

winamp5

icq2004-final

activation_crack

strip-girl-2.0bdcom_patches

rootkitXP

office_crack

nuke2004

with a file extension of:

.pif

.scr

.bat

.exe

So don't open any E-Mails with those characteristics. And also if you have Kazaa, make sure you check for those things. I got 11 total just today, and 2 were from people I know!

Just a heads up :(
