Hi everyone,
The Virus [WORM] was just sent to me under the E-Mail address of a member in this forum [I'll contact that person directly to inform them of this WORM situation, which they most likely do not even know is resident on their drive].
It came in with the name "Barnett".
Attachments were:
- One text file, named Barnett.txt - which contained the quoted message in Bill's message,
- One file having .doc.pif extentions
Name of this WORM is sircam.worm with w32. in front and atmm ending.
If anyone in this forum that I have E-Mailed directly in the past receives a message from me after 07/23/2001 10:00 AM PDT [13:00 EDT], and the message contains any type of attachments, no text [except possibly the embedded text of the WORM], and most importantly - no Signature File at the bottom of the message body, then delete it IMMEDIATELY!!!
I did not execute the WORM, but I am not sure about it's rabbit abilities.
Be sure to update and run your Virus Scanner after deleting the WORM.
Let me know if anyone does receive this [or any] WORM, aliasing my E-Mail address or name.
Thanks!
Scott SET.
