> Description:
> VBS/Monopoly
> This Visual Basic Script (VBS) virus is an email worm. Messages
> distributed by the worm have the subject line "Bill Gates joke", the
> message body "Bill Gates is guilty of monopoly. Here is the proof. :-)"
> and an attached VBS file called MONOPOLY.VBS.
> Effect on Users:
> If you launch this attachment, the worm will attempt to send itself to
> everyone in your Outlook address book. It also writes a JPEG file called
> MONOPOLY.JPG into your temporary directory, pops up a dialog box
> proclaiming "Bill Gates is guilty of monopoly. Here is the proof. :-)" and
> then displays the JPEG picture. This shows a Monopoly board with a picture
> of Bill Gates in the center. The corner squares of the board are replaced
> with Microsoft images.
> The script also sends system information to the following email addresses:
>
> [EMAIL PROTECTED] <<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
> <<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
> <<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
