#15101 - RE: NIMDA virus More Info
Hi
Here is some more info on the virus:-

a nasty virus is on the loose again
Please be careful opening attachments

This came in from McAfee today
McAfee.com has seen a large and growing number of systems
infected with the W32/Nimda@MM. This is a HIGH RISK virus
that is spread via email. W32/Nimda@MM also spreads via open
shares, the Microsoft Web Folder Transversal vulnerability
(also used by W32/CodeBlue), and a Microsoft content-type
spoofing vulnerability.
The email attachment name VARIES and may use the icon for an
Internet Explorer HTML document.
It will also attempt to spread itself as follows:
- The email messages created by the worm include content
that allows the worm to execute the attachment even if
the user does not open it.
- It modifies HTML documents, so that when this infected
window is accessed (locally or remotely), the machine
viewing the page is then infected.

Once infected, your system is used to seek out others to
infect over the Web.

AVERT is currently analyzing this threat and will post more
details online shortly.
