What is W32.Netsky.B@mm and how does it affect me?
*********************************************************************
W32.Netsky.B is a mass-mailing worm that uses its own SMTP engine to
send itself to the email addresses it finds when scanning the hard
drives and mapped drives.
This worm also searches drives C through Z
for folder names containing "Share" or "Sharing," and then copies
itself to those folders.
The Subject, Body, and email attachment vary.
Note: Beta Definitions 27994, dated February 18, 2004 3:30AM PT,
or later will detect this threat.
This worm is currently undergoing analysis. The record at Security
Response will be updated as information becomes available.
