I just received a file containing a virus through the user group. Here is
some info on it.
VBSWG.X (also known as VBS.VBSWG.X and VBS.Homepage)
VBSWG.X is a worm spreading via the Internet e-mail system and is yet
another variant generated by the VBS Worm Generator Kit.
The worm arrives as a message with the Subject line:
"Homepage"
and the message body:
"Hi!
You've got to see this page! It's really cool ;O)"
The attached file, which contains the worm code is named:
"HOMEPAGE.HTML.VBS"
When the attached code is executed, VBSWG.X saves a copy of its code to the
Temp directory and then mails itself out to all recipients listed in all
address books.
Once the mailing procedure is completed the worm modifies the registry entry
(sets it to 1):
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\An\mailed
Next, the worm browses through the Inbox and Deleted Outlook folders and
deletes all messages with the same Subject line as the worm's one
("Homepage").
