Description:

VBS/SST-A is an email-aware Visual Basic Script worm.

The worm arrives in an email with the following characteristics:

Subject line: Here you have, ;0)
Message text: Hi:
              Check This!
File attachment: AnnaKournikova.jpg.vbs

The virus lures users into activating it by pretending to be a
jpeg graphic of Russian tennis player Anna Kournikova.

The first time the attached file is executed it mails itself to
everybody in your Outlook address book.

The worm makes changes to the Registry, creating an entry called
HKCU\software\OnTheFly.
