According to McAfee AV---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. [EMAIL PROTECTED] + [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
= [EMAIL PROTECTED]) 

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.
