>From another source... ------ Life Stages of a new virus A new virus which relates the male and female 'stages of life' is causing more headaches for network administrators. The successor to the ILOVEYOU virus that hit Australia in early May, the new polymorphic worm 'VBS.Stages.A' disguises a Microsoft Shell Scrap Object file (.SHS) which modifies the system registry and subsequently makes the infected system unstable. The body of the email contains the text "The male and female stages of life" and contains an attachment 'LIFE-STAGES.TXT.SHS'. When the attachment is launched, the document which jokingly describing the male and female stages of life, opens in Notepad. The script in the virus then proceeds to move the system's REGEDIT.EXE file to the recycle bin. http://www.newswire.com.au/0006/virus.htm This article was forwarded from the daily APC magazine Newswire email. ----- Regards, Bruce - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
