Name: W32/Keyluc.C@mm
Aliases: W32/Maldal.c@MM, Maldal, W32.Maldal.C@mm, W32/Zacker-C
Type: Internet Worm
Discovery Date: December 19, 2001

Description:

W32/Keyluc.C@mm is a mass-mailing worm written in Visual Basic. This worm spreads through Microsoft Outlook, and arrives as an email that contains the following information:


Subject: Happy New Year

Message: Hii
I can't describe my feelings
(But all I can say is
Happy New Year :)
Bye

Attachment: Christmas.exe

When this attachment is run, the worm is executed and will display a window that appears to be a Christmas greeting.


While this pop-up window is distracting the user, the worm will copy itself to the Windows System directory as "Christmas.exe" and creates the following registry key:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run Zacker
= C:\Windows\Christmas.exe
And modifies the following registry key:

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName\ComputerName
ComputerName = "ZaCker"

W32/Keyluc.C@mm will also email a copy of itself to every recipient in the Microsoft Outlook address book.

hehe the funny part is that if you use antivirus software and don't run attachments in strange emails (especially in outlook), or from strangers on IRC, or download warez, it's almost impossible to get a virus.

those guys who can smurf you off the net or do funny things using your computer as a proxy, they're the ones to worry about :)
