If you think that you may be infected with this threat, and are unsure how to check your system, you may download the Stinger tool to scan your system and remove the virus if present. This is not required for McAfee users as McAfee products are capable of detecting and removing the virus with the latest update. (see the removal instructions below for more information). Note: Receiving an email alert stating that the virus came from your email address is not an indication that you are infected as the virus often forges the from address. |

Symptoms
Method of Infection
Mail Propagation
This virus constructs messages using its own SMTP engine. Target email addresses are harvested from files with the following extensions on the victim machine:
- .adb
- .asp
- .cfg
- .cgi
- .dbx
- .dhtm
- .eml
- .htm
- .jsp
- .mbx
- .mdx
- .mht

- .php
- .pl
- .sht
- .stm
- .tbb
- .shtm
- .txt
- .uin
- .wab
- .wsh
- .xls
- .xml
The virus spoofs the sender address by using a harvested address in the From: field.
The virus avoids sending itself to addresses containing the following:
- @hotmail
- @msn
- @microsoft

Overview -
This is a virus detection. Viruses are programs that self-replicate recursively, meaning that infected systems spread the virus to other systems, which then propagate the virus further. While many viruses contain a destructive payload, it's quite common for viruses to do nothing more than spread from one system to another.
