The Resume Virus was announced to be wild Friday May 26 2000. While not expected to be as severe as the ILOVEYOU virus it has already spread more the recent NEWLOVE virus. The e-mail will contain the subject: Resume - Janet Simons Upon opening the e-mail the message body will contain: To: Director of Sales/Marketing, Attached is my resume with a list of references contained within. Please feel free to call or email me if you have any further questions regarding my experience. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Janet Simons. Included in the document contains resume.doc, explorer.doc or normal.dot. If any of these files are ran the virus will first send itself to all users in the computer's e-mail address book and copy the following files
to the hard disk drive: C:\Data\Normal.dot C:\Windows\Start Menu\ Programs\Startup\Explorer.doc Once these files have been copied successfully onto the computer it will then release its destructive pay load attempting to delete all drives A-Z. |
