2. Forever Love - VBS_SEALUG.A (Low Risk)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Visual Basic Script worm propagates via Microsoft Outlook and arrives
in an email with the following: 

Subject: En SevdiginMessage

Message Body: Hayat yasandigi kadardir. Ötesi ya hatiralarda bir iz, ya da
hayallerde bir umuttur. Hüsrani ise bir tek yerde kabul edebilirim: O da
yasamaya olanak varken yasayamamis olmaktir. 

Attachment: En_Sevdigin.vbs

This worm uses the email addresses found in the infected user's Microsoft
Outlook Global Address book as recipients for its email sending routine. It
sends one email per address entry and sets Outlook to delete the sent mail
afterwards. If the infected ser does not have Microsoft Outlook installed,
it displays a message box with the following: 

Subject: VBScript

Header: Ist Oyle Birsey

It then displays two more message boxes: 

Header: VBS Script: Forever Love

Message Body: Sevgide son yoktur. Sevgiler hicbir zaman son bulmazlar. Biten
sevgiler yoktur, bitmis gibi gorunen sevgiler vardir. Vazgecis de yoktur
sevgide. Yasandikca yasatilir sevilen. Ama kimi zaman sevgili icin kimi
zamansa sevginin bir geregi olarak saklanir bu asklar. Vazgecis yoktur,
vazgecmis gibi gorunmek vardir o yuzden.Sevmekte istemek yoktur. Sevgilinin
oldugu yerde son bulur istekler. Bir sey varsa istedigin bu senin icin
degil, sevgili icin istedigindir. Ondan O'nun adina istersin. O'nu daha
sonsuz sevebilmek icin istersin. Sevme ozgurlugunu istersin, kabul
edilmesini istersin. Istersin ama bir gun gelir bu istekler de son bulur.
Kendinden istersin artik.

Header: VBS Script: Forever Love

Message Body: Sevgiliyi daha cok sevmek istersin kendinden. Sonsuz kilmak
istersin. Bu yolda sevgili olur mu, olmaz mi bunu sevgilinin istegi
belirler. Sevmek sevgiliyi istememeyi ogrenmektir. Sevmek sevgiliyi sevgili
olmadan sevmektir. Sevmek; sevmek istemektir.Sevmek, beklememektir.
Beklentilerin son buldugu bir duraktir o. Oyle ki tum gercekler, tum dunya
silinir gider. Ne O'ndan anlasilmayi beklersin, ne onu anlamayi. Ne onun
gelmesini beklersin, ne onun Leyla, Mecnun olmasini. Bildigin bir sey yoktur
sevmeyi bilmek disinda.

It searches for the following files and, if found, it drops the file
SCRIPT.INI in the directory where the file was found:
-MIRC32.EXE 
-MLINK32.EXE 
-MIRC.INI 
-SCRIPT.INI 
-MIRC.HLP

With this SCRIPT.INI file the worm is capable of performing the following: 

-connecting to the server irc.muhabbi.net 

-sending a message "Watashi Wa Anata Ga Sukide Su" to all other users who
joins the same channel as the infected user 

-sending the message http:\\www.1agustos.com to all channels the infected
user is currently on to

It then changes the startup page of Internet Explorer to
http://www.1agustos.com/
