Virus Characteristics





--- Update 4/18/2002 ---AVERT has raised the risk assessment of this threat to Medium after seeing an increase in prevalence over the past 24 hours. Home users are at a greater risk of infection, as they tend to update their DATs less frequently then corporations. As such, the risk of becoming infected in a corporate environment is lower. 
This latest W32/Klez variant is already detected as W32/Klez.gen@MM by McAfee products using the 4182 DATs (23 January 2002) or greater.
W32/Klez.h@MM has a number of similarities to previous W32/Klez variants, for example:

W32/Klez.h@MM makes use of Incorrect MIME Header Can Cause IE to Execute E-mail Attachment vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer (ver 5.01 or 5.5 without SP2). 
the worm has the ability to spoof the From: field (often set to an address found on the victim machine). 
the worm attempts to unload several processes (antivirus programs) from memory. Including those containing the following strings: 

_AVP32 
_AVPCC 
NOD32 
NPSSVC 
NRESQ32 
NSCHED32 
NSCHEDNT 
NSPLUGIN 
NAV 
NAVAPSVC 
NAVAPW32 
NAVLU32 
NAVRUNR 
NAVW32 
_AVPM 
ALERTSVC 
AMON 
AVP32 
AVPCC 
AVPM 
N32SCANW 
NAVWNT 
ANTIVIR 
AVPUPD 
AVGCTRL 
AVWIN95 
SCAN32 
VSHWIN32 
F-STOPW 
F-PROT95 
ACKWIN32

SWEEP95 
PCCWIN98 
IOMON98 
AVPTC 
AVE32 
AVCONSOL 
FP-WIN 
DVP95 
F-AGNT95 
CLAW95 
NVC95 
SCAN 
VIRUS 
LOCKDOWN2000 
Norton 
Mcafee 
Antivir 
The worm is able to propagate over the network by copying itself to network shares (assuming sufficient permissions exist). Target filenames are chosen randomly, and can have single or double file extensions. For example: 350.bak.scr bootlog.jpg user.xls.exe 
The worm may also copy itself into RAR archives, for example: HREF.mpeg.rar HREF.txt.rar lmbtt.pas.rar 
The worm mails itself to email addresses in the Windows Address Book, plus addresses extracted from files on the victim machine. It arrives in an email message whose subject and body is composed from a pool of strings carried within the virus (the virus can also add other strings obtained from the local machine). For example:Subject: A very funny website or Subject: 1996 Microsoft Corporation or Subject: Hello,honey or Subject: Initing esdi or Subject: Editor of PC Magazine. or Subject: Some questions or Subject: Telephone number 
The file attachment name is again generated randomly, and ends with a .exe, .scr, .pif, or .bat extension, for example: ALIGN.pif User.bat line.bat 
Thanks to the use of the exploit described above, simply opening or previewing the message in a vulnerable mail client can result in infection of the victim machine. 
W32/Klez.h@MM masquerades as a free immunity tool in at least one of the messages used. Below is the message sent by the virus itself.Subject: Worm Klez.E Immunity Body: Klez.E is the most common world-wide spreading worm. It's very dangerous by corrupting your files. Because of its very smart stealth and anti-anti-virus technic,most common AV software can't detect or clean it.We developed this free immunity tool to defeat the malicious virus. You only need to run this tool once,and then Klez will never come into your PC.

NOTE: Because this tool acts as a fake Klez to fool the real worm,some AV monitor maybe cry when you run it. If so,Ignore the warning,and select 'continue'. If you have any question,please mail to me. 
 
The worm may send a clean document in

OT: VIRUS!!! VIRUS!!! VIRUS!!!!! BE CAREFUL!!!

2002-04-30 Thread Simon . Anderson



Hmm - this seems to be a particularly powerful and dangerous infection, three
times more powerful than the 'standard'.  Luckily, the 'V-word' virus causes no
damage other than slightly clogging up mailboxes.  The fact that this example
uses the word 3 times would make it particularly bad, but multiple exclamation
marks are a dead giveaway, and most of us can delete the message manually.

Although this 'V-Word' virus is one of the most common email problems (along
with other spam), anti-virus programs *still* refuse to recognise it and delete
any message that uses the 'V-Word' with multiple exclamation marks.


Don't panic - just follow these simple steps:

1) Trust no-one

2) Prevent this insidious virus from spreading any further by not posting any
replies containing the 'V-Word' virus.

Well, it was the answer on Dave's email.
Every day I get about 3-4 emails from servers without antivirus and from 
users without basic knowledge of don't click on all attachments in your 
emails.

I removed all Microsoft OS from computers in our company 3 years ago.
So, I only laugh reading news about Sircam, Klez.K etc.
