New Worm Alert: W32/Goner@MM (NAC)



I know this isn't the Virus Digest, but I felt it would be best to try to nip this one
in the bud.

This mass mailing worm attempts to send itself using Microsoft Outlook to all entries
found in the Outlook Address book. It uses ICQ to spread as well. It arrives in an
email message containing the
following information:

        Subject: Hi
        Body:
        How are you ?

        Attachment: GONE.SCR

Running this attachment infects the local system.

When run, the worm displays a message box entitled, "About"
