2. VBScript Worm - VBS_IPNUKER.A (Low Risk)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
VBS_IPNUKER.A is a non-destructive, non-memory resident worm that
propagates only during the months of January, June, and December. It can
propagate through email messages and Internet Relay Chat (IRC). This worm
is currently spreading in-the-wild and infecting systems that run Windows
98, ME, NT, 2000, XP.
Upon execution, this VBscript switches the functions of the affected
machine's mouse buttons and changes the icons for such file types as MPEG,
MP3, JPEG, and TXT. It also deletes the application, Norton Antivirus, from
the Program files folder.
It uses MAPI commands to propagate itself and to gather email addresses
stored in the affected system. It then sends out an email to the gathered
addresses.
Upon arrival, this Visual Basic script (VBscript) drops the following files:
%Windows%\favorites\ipnuker.url
%Windows%\ipnuker.vbs
C:\mirc\ipnuker.vbs
(Note: %Windows% is the Windows folder, which is usually C:\Windows or
C:\WINNT.)
It also creates a registry entry to enable its execution at every system
startup and deletes these types of files: .BAT, .TXT, and .VBS.
If you would like to scan your computer for VBS_IPNUKER.A or thousands of
other worms, viruses, Trojans and malicious code, visit HouseCall, Trend

5. Trend Micro IM Security for Microsoft Office Live Communications Server
Instant messaging (IM) via Microsoft Office Live Communications Server
(LCS) provides a fast and convenient way for colleagues to locate and
communicate with each other in real time via text messages. However,
worms that propagate via IM - such as Bropia, Kelvir, and Fatso -
are becoming more prevalent.
Without a secure environment for IM, viruses can spread and downgrade
business productivity. Without proper monitoring and control, trade secrets
can be lost and legal problems can arise from inappropriate content or use
of company resources. Trend Micro IM Security for Microsoft LCS delivers
advanced protection from malicious code and inappropriate content. IM
Security runs with minimal performance impact to LCS and can be centrally
managed and administered to help administrators deploy and maintain a
virus-free IM environment with secure content.
