VIRUS ALERT - IRC/Stages.worm
Dear McAfee.com Dispatch Subscriber:
IRC/Stages.worm is an Internet worm that began spreading rapidly on
6/19. McAfee AVERT has assessed it as a HIGH-risk threat. McAfee.com
Clinic users who used VirusScan Online after 6/16 have protection
against this worm. The worm uses Microsoft Outlook to send copies of
itself to all entries in the address book and through installations of
Pirch, ICQ and mIRC.* It also spreads to all available mapped drives on
your system.
This worm will arrive in an email message with this format:
Subject: "Funny", "Jokes", or "Life Stages", sometimes followed
by "Text"
Content: "The male and female stages of life"
Attachment: "LIFE_STAGES.TXT.SHS" (the suffix ".SHS" may be
hidden)
If the attachment is run, the user sees a list of jokes while the worm
infects the system and attempts to send copies of itself to all
addresses in Outlook address book, as well as through the other channels
mentioned above.
* Pirch is an internet relay chat client for Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT,
mIRC is a shareware IRC chat client for Windows and ICQ lets you
initiate IRC style chat sessions - it alerts you when your friends are
online and lets you chat with them.
