new variant Loveletter worm

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Current News : One Thread

The Symantec website has all the details --

VBS.Loveletter.CN@mm -- Discovered on: May 31, 2001

This is a minor variant of the LoveLetter virus family. This virus may arrive in the following format by email:

Subject: Where are you? Body: This is my pic in the beach! Attachment: JENNIFERLOPEZ_NAKED.JPG.vbs

This virus also drops the file Cih_14.exe, which is a dropper for the CIH virus, and attempts to run it.

The Symantec site links to another page discussing all the variant forms of this thing, 82 at last count -- see VBS.LoveLetter and variants.

Apparently this thing only affects systems using Microsoft Outlook.
