Seems that the people who have a mean streak in them are at it again. Make sure you UPDATE your Anti Virus Programme.

W32.Bugbear@mm

NOTE: Due to an increased rate of submissions, Symantec Security Response has upgraded this threat from a Category 3 to a Category 4 as of October 2, 2002.

W32.Bugbear@mm is a mass-mailing worm. It can also spread through network shares. It has keystroke-logging and backdoor capabilities. The worm also attempts to terminate the processes of various antivirus and firewall programs.

Because the worm does not properly handle the network resource types, it may flood shared printer resources, which causes them to print garbage or disrupt their normal functionality.

It is written in the Microsoft Visual C++ 6 programming language and is compressed with UPX v0.76.1-1.22.

Also Known As: W32/Bugbear-A [Sophos], WORM_BUGBEAR.A [Trend], Win32.Bugbear [CA], W32/Bugbear@MM [McAfee], I-Worm.Tanatos [AVP], W32/Bugbear [Panda], Tanatos [F-Secure]

Type: Worm

Infection Length: 50,688 bytes

Systems Affected: Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Me

Systems Not Affected: Macintosh, Unix, Linux

CVE References: CVE-2001-0154
