Subject: New internet virus is spreading rapidly... Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2004 23:35:31 -0700 Be extra careful if you choose to open attachments: The mass-mailing MyDoom virus has become the fastest spreading program to date and the damage could continue for months or years. The virus, also known as Novarg and Mimail.R, spread quickly across the Internet on Monday, traveling as an e-mail attachment and infecting PCs whose users opened the malicious file. When opened, the virus installs a stealth program on the victim's computer that opens up a software " back door. " Attackers can then bypass the PC's security and turn the system into a bounce point, or proxy, for any network-based attack. The virus affects computers running Windows versions 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000 and XP, and arrives in the user's in-box as an attachment to an e-mail message that appears to be an error response from an e-mail server. The message sports one of several different random subject lines, such as " Mail Delivery System, " " Test " or " Mail Transaction Failed. " The body of the e-mail contains an executable file and a statement such as: " The message contains Unicode characters and has been sent as a binary attachment. " and " The message cannot be represented in 7-bit ASCII encoding and has been sent as a binary attachment.
