Hi, I recently saw this file up for grabs (July 22, 1AM) on the gnutella filesharing network. Attached is the source of what seems to be a non-destructive, self-replicating 'worm' which has already spread quite rapidly around the gnutella network. It also appears to be semi-polymorphic, as it changes it's filename to the names in an array called NewFilenames. The contents of it are as follows: NewFilenames = Array(ProgramName & ".vbs", "Jenna Jameson movie listing.vbs", "Pamela Anderson movie listing.vbs", "Asia Carerra movie listing.vbs", "xxx FTP movie listing.vbs", "ASF Compressor (No quality loss).vbs", "collegesex.vbs", "Gladiator.vbs", "Battlefield Earth.vbs", "Evangelion complete episodes scripts.vbs", "Scan Master checklist.vbs", "How to eat pussy.vbs", "Alicia Silverstone.vbs", "Pearl Jam.vbs", "Mp3 compressor (Half the size but same quality).vbs", "Napster Metallica Crack.vbs", "Santana.vbs", "NSync.vbs", "Nirvana.mp3.vbs", "Shania Twain.mp3.vbs", "Jesus loves you.vbs", "Gnutella upgrade.vbs", "OFFICIAL Gnutella Option Pack.vbs") -Matt ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com <HR NOSHADE> <UL> <LI>application/x-unknown-content-type-VBSFile attachment: Santana.vbs </UL>
