Hey all.
Didn't think to report on that.
I ran it (offline). It attempted to dial-up, I closed the dial-up GUI.
It then proceeded to give all the relevant error messages of bad
parameters etc and shut-down. I have had no trouble with ICQ, no
reports of my UIN spamming anyone etc etc. I rarely use ICQ, but I made
a point of logging on last night to test things and let a few people
know about the worm (sorry folks, my last post said it was a trojan,
it's a worm...sorry, gotta be definitive).
If your ICQ client is playing up, remove it and download the latest
from ICQ. I'll do some registry checks later to see if it changed
anything. However, I don't think it did. It is rather a lame little
program as far as I can see.
Catchyas,
