Re: [cobalt-users] Virus email





Basically, it infects any Windows machine which executes it by copying
itself to a bunch of different system files, and patches WSOCK32.DLL to
allow itself to send itself via outgoing emails.



Who on this list uses windows? Since this is a virus and not a spammer, is it possible to find out who is the originator so they can be told that they have it?

These are some more headers(ONLY FROM YESTERDAY!!!):

Is the worm randomly generating this stuff or is there a way to trace it?
