Guest guest Posted May 3, 2002 Report Share Posted May 3, 2002 Hello Debra and all, 10.0pt">Nice to hear from you again Debra! 10.0pt">Thanks for you mail about the Virus. I am answering you on the list, as may be my mail may be of any help to others on the list too. Please, just have a look in what I received from McAfee: ************************************************************************************* bold">“TheW32/Klez… take advantage of the vulnerability of the Internet explorer (5.01 e 5.5 without SP2) Incorrect MIME Header Can Cause IE to Execute E-Mail Attachment. bold"> bold"> 10.0pt">The worm has the capacity to alter the field FROM and configure itself within a name found in your address book. It tries to discharge from the memory several programs including anti-virus…I can also copy itself through the programs and files like RAR: HREF, impeg, HREF, txt, rar; Imbtt.pas.rar. bold"> 10.0pt">Besides the Klez has the capacity of sending itself to the addresses found in the address book. bold"> 10.0pt">The titles of the mails may be: -18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list 36.0pt"> mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">- bold">A very funny website -18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list 36.0pt"> mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">- bold">1996 Microsoft Corporation -18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list 36.0pt"> mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">- bold">Hello, honey -18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list 36.0pt"> mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">- bold">Initing esdi -18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list 36.0pt"> mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">- bold">Editor of PC Magazine -18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list 36.0pt"> mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">- bold">Some questions -18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list 36.0pt"> mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">- bold">Telephone number -18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list 36.0pt"> mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">- bold">Or: Worm Klez Immunity bold">Klez. E is the most common worldwide spreading worm. It is very dangerous by corrupting your files. Because of its very smart stealth and ant-ant-virus technique, most common AV software cannot detect or clean it. We developed this free immunity toll to defeat the malicious virus. bold"> 10.0pt">You only need to run this toll once, and then Klez will never come into your PC. bold">NOTE: Because this tool acts as a fake Klez to fool the real worm, some AV monitor maybe cry when you run it. If so, ignore the warning, and select “continue”. bold">If you have any question, please mail to me”. ************************************************************************************* 10.0pt">This is it Debra. I hope have been of any help. By the way, although I have Internet Explorer “6”, and not the previous version as McAfee mentions, I received this “generous message” offering to clean my machine up from this virus and the “sender” was gjlist, mind you! Fortunately, my Antivirus took care of it. Much Peace to you Debra all on the list, Lucia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
