- WIN32/NAKED.WORM Outlook e-mail worm
- InoculateIT Personal Edition AntiVirus
Update Number 1154 available
==============================================
WIN32/NAKED.WORM Outlook e-mail worm
==============================================
WIN32/NAKED.WORM is a new worm that has recently
been seen propagating in the field. Upon
execution, a flash movie is shown while the worm
spreads by attaching itself to outbound emails
sent to all addresses found in the Microsoft
Outlook Address Book.
It arrives as an e-mail with the subject line:
"FW: Naked Wife"
The message body of the e-mail reads:
> My wife never look like that! ;)
Best Regards,
UserName
The message contains the attachment
"NakedWife.exe"
A damaging payload will delete various .dll,
.exe, .com, .ini, .bmp, and .log files both
in the default windows and the windows system
directory, rendering the system unbootable
in most cases. Restoration should be made
using your latest system backup.
IPE signature update 1154 includes detection
for this threat.
=============================================
VIRUS UPDATE 1154
=============================================
The latest AntiVirus Update has been uploaded
to the Computer Associates web site for you
to download.
To download the new signature files for IPE
without going through your Web browser, you can
use the new "Auto Download" feature inside
IPE (Tools, AutoDownload) or the AutoDownload
application to check for updated signatures,
download, and install them.
Alternatively, the update file can be obtained
at the following URL:
http://antivirus.ca.com/cgi-bin/ipe/update.cgi
It is recommended that once you have downloaded
and installed an update that you do a virus
scan of all the files on your system and
create a new reference disk for your system.
We recommend that you keep your anti-virus
protection up-to-date at all times by ensuring
you are running the most up-to-date anti-virus
software (Current IPE version 5.2) and that latest
update kit.
These update kits are cumulative: therefore the
latest update kit includes everything from all
previous update kits as well as the new virus
information.
These update kits are NOT complete versions of
IPE but an update which will allow version 5.2
to detect and clean the latest viruses.
