------------------------------------------------------------
            ** VIRUS ADVISORY - W32/Mydoom.f@MM **
------------------------------------------------------------


A variant of the original Mydoom virus, W32/Mydoom.f@MM is a Medium Risk mass-mailing worm that can open up hacker backdoors on infected systems and launch denial-of-service attacks that target www.microsoft.com and www.riaa.com domains.

Note: Unlike previous versions of Mydoom, Mydoom.f can also delete image, movie, Excel and Word files on an infected machine.

Like other mass-mailing viruses, W32/Mydoom.f@MM steals email addresses from an infected machine, then mails itself to other computers, often spoofing the "from field." The worm arrives with random subject lines, such as "Please read," "Something for you" or "Please reply". The body of the e-mail contains an executable file often disguised as a text file.

Caution: An infected email can come from addresses you recognize and may contain the following information:
------------------------------------------------------------
***What to look for***

From:      Randomly generated <spoofed>
Subject:    Varies. Examples include:
- Announcement
- ApprovedNews
- Attention
- automatic responder
- Bug

Body:      Varies. Examples include:
- Check the attached document.
- Details are in the attached document. You need Microsoft
  Office to open it.
- Greetings
- Here is the document.
- Here it is
- I have your password :)

Attachment:   Varies [.cmd, .bat, .exe, .pif, .cmd, .scr] but
often arrives in a ZIP archive. 34,686 bytes. Examples
include:
- creditcard.bat
- creditcard.zip
- paypal.zip
- photo.zip
- textfile.zip
------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: Up-to-date McAfee VirusScan users with dat 4327 are protected from this threat.

Zoë: Shepard, isn't the Bible kind of specific about killing?
Book: Very specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzy around the area of kneecaps.

No matter how hard you try to push the envelope, remember it's only stationary.
