I have unsubscribed them from the lists until they contact me and I know they are virus free. DO NOT OPEN ANY ATTACHMENTS with out first using your virus scan and be sure before doing so you have updated the lastest on your virus scan. I am sending again the directions that I sent a couple weeks ago. If you feel you may have gotten the virus and you have questions or need help you may contact me. I suggest you empty your trash bin, if your ISP gives you the "double delete" on your email to completely rid your email (which AOL does...once you click delete..go to Mail scroll down to Recently Deleted Mail and delete it again or what ever your ISP requires you to do to get the email totally out) http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/pf/w32.badtrans.13312@mm.html Symantec AntiVirus Research Center (SARC) W32.Badtrans.13312@mm Discovered on: April 11, 2001 Last Updated on: April 16, 2001 at 09:32:39 AM PDT W32.Badtrans.13312@mm is a MAPI worm that replies to all unread mails in your email message folders, and drops a backdoor Trojan. Also Known As: W32/Badtrans-A, W32/Badtrans@MM, BadTrans, IWorm_Badtrans, I-Worm.Badtrans, TROJ_BADTRANS.A Category: Worm Infection Length: 13312 Virus Definitions: April 11, 2001 Threat Assessment: Payload: Large scale e-mailing: It replies to all unread messages in the message folders within the default MAPI email program. Compromises security settings: It drops a backdoor Trojan. Technical description: When the worm is executed, it drops the backdoor Trojan Hkk32.exe in the \Windows folder, and then executes it. It then copies itself into the Windows folder as inetd.exe, adds a run= line to the Win.ini, and displays the following message: (An error box pops up and it say's .... INSTALL ERROR probable due to bad data transmission...) The next time that the computer is rebooted, the worm will wait for 5 minutes, then it will use MAPI to find all unread email messages and reply to all of them. The worm will attach itself to the email, using one of the following file names: Pics.ZIP.scr images.pif README.TXT.pif New_Napster_Site.DOC.scr news_doc.scr hamster.ZIP.scr YOU_are_FAT!.TXT.pif searchURL.scr SETUP.pif Card.pif Me_nude.AVI.pif Sorry_about_yesterday.DOC.pif s3msong.MP3.pif docs.scr Humor.TXT.pif fun.pif Removal instructions: To remove this worm: 1. Run LiveUpdate to make sure that you have the most recent virus definitions. 2. Start Norton AntiVirus (NAV), and then run a full system scan, making sure that NAV is set to scan all files. 3. Delete any files detected as W32.Badtrans.13312@mm. 4. Click Start, and click Run. 5. Type sysedit and then click OK. 6. Click the title bar of the Win.ini file. 7. In the [windows] section, locate the run= line. It will look similar to the following: run=c:\windows\inetd.exe 8. Remove the text to the right of the = sign, so that the line now reads: run= 9. Save your changes and exit the System Configuration Editor. Good luck in your se
