---Update 10/02/2002---
The risk assessment of this threat has been raised to Medium On Watch due to an increase in prevalence.
This worm has the ability to spoof, or forge, the 'From:' field. (Often set to an address found on the victim's machine). Additionally the virus can use a fabricated from address, by taking the name before the "@" sign of one address, and the domain name after the "@" sign of another address. (ie. name1@domain1.com + name2@domain2.com = name1@domain2.com)
This virus is written in MSVC and packed with UPX. It spreads via network shares and by emailing itself. It also contains a backdoor trojan component that contains keylogging functionality.
******************
So, hopefully i dont have a virus, it's just a made up address from someone elses address book.
Phew.
I shall run a virus check with the repair for this in the morning tho. Just in case.
if you have any problems, the repair can be found here vil.mcafee.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=99728
