What it does to your computer.

This electronic mail mass propagation worm has been detected in 0.3% of the infected computers. It had been one of the highly spread worms in 2004, the year in which it was created.

In order to spread through E-mail, it uses a vulnarability in Internet Explorer which allows it to automatically execute just by displaying the message in Outlook. The main objective of this worm is to self-propagate. It also carries out a Denial of Service (DoS) attack from the infected systems against different web sites on given dates.

It tries to mislead the user into thinking that their computers have serious errors or viruses with banners or pop-up windows when visiting web pages,offering a free tool to correct the issues, but in reality it is a Trojan horse. Once installed, the program continues to detect false problems in your system and asks the user to register the program, on paying, to fix the issue. The creators of this worm are paid from the sale of the program duping the users with false errors and virus. The damage caused is greater than just economic damage since it creates a false sense of security for the users, who may think that they have bought the tool which would protect them from worms such as these.
