Go up one level in this thread


Hello Guenther,

The worm creates two exe's (taskgmr.exe and hellmsn.exe) which in turn create
two *.scr files which in turn mail spam to all in your address book, by using
it's own a self created SMTP process. The files are also recreated with a
reboot. It also enters into the registry info that allows a port to be opened as
well.

It says nowhere (that I can see) that this particular variant (W32.mytob@mm)
affects compression software or that it affects any other file.

This particular worm in this form appears to be a mailer not something that
attaches itself to other exe files.

Speaking of variants ......why would this appear in output?

Variants? Suicide chess? Hmmmmm......

And why would you obstificate strings....?

And why would you not support "position fen"? Let me think now.....no.....I
still don't get it......I still wonder why.

All is not correct here as Fabien said......this matter still needs very many
questions answered.
