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.
