"New Worm Virus VBS/Monopoly"
Description: VBS/Monopoly
This Visual Basic Script (VBS) virus is an email worm.
Messages distributed by the worm have the subject line "Bill Gates
joke",
the message body "Bill Gates is guilty of monopoly. Here is the proof.
:-)"
and an attached VBS file called MONOPOLY.VBS.
Effect on Users:
If you launch this attachment, the worm will attempt to send
itself to everyone in your Outlook address book. It also writes a JPEG
file
called MONOPOLY.JPG into your temporary directory, pops up a dialog box
proclaiming "Bill Gates is guilty of monopoly. Here is the proof. :-)"
and
then displays the JPEG picture. This shows a Monopoly board with a
picture
of Bill Gates in the center. The corner squares of the board are
replaced
with Microsoft images.
