W32.Novarg.A@mm |
This Worm
targets your address book once it's executed, sending itself to as
many valid email address' as it can find. They won't show up
in your 'Sent Items' folder as it uses its own email engine to do
the sending.
It then opens up a backdoor, leaving your system directly vulnerable
to the creator, or anyone who does enough research into how the worm
works. From here it waits until February 1st, 2004. Once
this day comes, it starts attacking its intended victim,
www.sco.com, causing a Denial of
Service and keeps attacking until February 12th.

W32.Klez.H@mm |
This Worm is a variant of
a previous one introduced in January. It strikes through Outlook
or Outlook Express, using a security vulnerability. This
vulnerability was addressed by Microsoft a while back, and should be
patched if not done so already.
Outlook / Outlook Express Patch:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS01-020.asp
Once infected, the worm makes sure that it gets run every time the
machine is restarted. If your system is connected to a network,
the worm searches out open shares and copies itself to them, in hopes
that others will run it. It also tries to disable your current
virus protection software, preventing its detection.
To keep with its high infection rate, it searches all Windows address
books and ICQ user lists and sends itself out to all that are found.

MyParty Virus |
|
A slightly more crafty
virus in its attachment is being spread through e-mail. This virus
arrives in your inbox with the following subject:
new photos
from my party!
The body of the message contains the following:
Hello!
My party... It was absolutely amazing!
I have attached my web page with new photos!
If you can please make color prints of my photos. Thanks!
The attachment name is the rather sneaky part of this in that it takes
on the look of a web site link:
Attachment: www.myparty.yahoo.com
As this is a valid executable file, opening up the attachment will
infect the system.
