According to some information I found on a virus site, it is:


The modified WSOCK32.DLL file watches all Internet activity and
attempts to mail a copy of the worm, in the form of a .EXE or .SCR file,
to any valid e-mail address sent over the Internet connection, whether
part of a e-mail message, web page, or newsgroup posting. AVERT
cautions all users to delete unexpected attachments.
W32/Hybris.gen@M is sent unknowingly by the infected user.
