I got it from someone else - but our server caught it.

Man that sucks. And I notice he's not around either. It must have infected his chit and replicated and tossed out using his mail list. Hope he did'nt loose it all. :(

Mcaffee has flu shot for it. It's the W32/badtrans II. Its making the rounds.

W32.Badtrans.B@mm Virus

Problem/Issue

A MAPI worm that emails itself out as one of several different file names. This worm also creates a DLL in \Windows\System directory as a Kdll.dll. It uses functions from this DLL to log keystrokes. Contains either .scr or .pif attachments. This worm arrives as an email with one of several attachment names and a combination of two appended extensions. The list of possible file names is: HUMOR, DOCS, S3MSONG, ME_NUDE, CARD, SEARCHURL, YOU_ARE_FAT!, NEWS_DOC, IMAGES, PICS, info, Sorry_about_yesterday, SETUP, stuff, HAMSTER, New_Napster_Site, or README.

The first extension that is appended to the file name is one of the following: .DOC, .MP3 or .ZIP The second extension that is appended to the file name is one of the following: .pif or .scr The resulting file name would look something like this: CARD.DOC.PIC, NEWS_DOC.MP3.SCR, etc.

When executed, this worm copies itself as kernel32.exe in the "\windows\system" directory. It then adds the following registry value:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunOnce\Kernel32=kernel32.exe
