Dear Trend Micro Customer:

This worm terminates antivirus processes and propagates by sending itself
via email using its own SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) engine. The
email that it sends out contains no message body and uses any of the
following as its subject:

The email attachment may be one of these: 

Setup.exe 
3 July 2002.doc.pif 

It spoofs the FROM field of the email that it sends out while the TO field
contains addresses found in the Windows Address Book (WAB). 

This worm exploits a known vulnerability on systems with unpatched Internet
Explorer 5.01 and 5.5, which automatically runs the executable file
attachment when the email message is previewed or opened in Microsoft
Outlook and Outlook Express.
