1. W32.Klez.gen@mm

W32.Klez.gen@mm is a mass-mailing worm that searches the Windows
address book for email addresses and sends messages to all recipients
that it finds. The worm uses its own SMTP engine to send the messages.

The subject and attachment name of incoming email is chosen randomly.
The attachment will have one of the following extensions: .bat, .exe,
.pif or .scr.

The worm exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft Outlook and Outlook
Express in an attempt to execute itself when you open or even preview
the message.

W32.Klez.gen@mm attempts to copy itself to all network shared drives
that it finds.

Depending on the variant of the worm, the worm will infect the system
with one of the following viruses:

W32.Klez.gen@mm is a generic detection that detects variants of
W32.Klez. Computers that are infected with W32.Klez.gen@mm are most
likely infected with either W32.Klez.E@mm or W32.Klez.H@mm. Please
