Computer Virus Information from a Friend!

Greetings, duodenalswitch

I thought you would be interested in knowing about this computer Virus...

Name: VBS/VBSWG.Z@MM

Characteristics:

This is an encrypted VBScript worm. It arrives as a .VBS file email

attachment. When the attachment is run, it displays a messagebox entitled

" VBScript: Mawanella " which reads:

Mawanella is one of the Sri Lanka's Muslim Village.This brutal incident

happened here 2 Muslim Mosques,100 Shops are burnt. I hate this incident,

What about you? I can destroy your computer I didn't do that because I am

a peace-loving citizen.

The worm copies itself to the Windows System directory as a file called

" Mawanella.vbs " and e-mails itself to all recipients in the Microsoft

Outlook address book with the following information:

Subject: Mawanella Body: Mawanella is one of the Sri Lanka's Muslim

Village Attachment: Mawanella.vbs

The mailing routine occurs each time an infected .VBS file is executed. As

the virus does not configure Windows to load the .VBS file at startup,

this mailing routine will only occur once for most people. There is no

other payload.
