New Virus Strikes; Protect Your Computer

December 31, 2001 / 8:00am PST

A new virus has been detected. The virus, named W32.Maldal propagates via windows-based email.

If you receive an email where the subject of the email is the same as the attachment name, please delete it immediately.

How do I know if I am vulnerable?

This mass-mailing worm gathers email addresses from cached web pages and deletes files and software. It arrives in a email message containing the following random information:
Subject: %Computer Name% (where Computer Name appears as a userid followed by the computer's operating system. For example: jdoe-w2k)

Body: The body of the message can contain any ONE of the following messages:

Test this game body
or: I wish u like it
or: I have got this file for you
or: Surprise !!!
or: download this game & have fun
or: desktop maker ,you may need it
or: have you ever got a gift !?
or: What women wants !
or: Don't waste any time ,Subscribe now
or: Make your pc funny !
or: new program from my fun groups
or: Map of the world
or: Create your Ecard ( looooooooooooooooool
or: Send it to everybody you love ' Its made by me
or: Our symbol
or: If you have an elegant taste
or: Test your mind
or: 1 + 1 = 3 !!!
or: See this file
or: Singer , searsh for any song and sing
or: For everybody wants to marry a woman that he doesn't love !
or: nowadays , there is no womanhood !! :P
or: Just Try to fix it
or: Keep these advertisements run and earn 0.25 $ per 10 minute

Attachment: %ComputerName%.exe (where Computer Name appears as a userid followed by the computer's operating system. For example: jdoe-w2k). The attachment name should be the same as the subject of the email.

The computer name is changed to ZaCker by the virus, but email messages are likely to go out with the existing computer name as the subject line prior to change taking effect. After the name change the subject is ZaCker.

If you receive an email with the above attributes please delete the email without opening the attachment. If you do not open the attachment you will not be infected.
