Description I-Worm.Cuerpo

This Internet worm infects computer with installed Windows 9x and Internet Explorer 5.0 without Scriptlet.TypeLib hotfix (MS99-032). The worm spreads via E-mail by sending infected messages from affected computers. While spreading the worm uses MS Outlook and sends itself to all addresses that are stored in MS Outlook Address Book. The worm also has alternate spreading method that does not use Outlook at all.
The worm arrives to a computer as email message in HTML format. The subject of message may be vary. Message body has no visible text but contain script that is worm itself.
At the moment message is opening or displayed in preview pane, script activates and worm's code executing. At this moment ActiveX warning may appear on display:
An ActiveX control on this page might be unsafe to interact with other parts
of the page. Do you want to allow this interaction?
[YES] [NO]
Choosing [NO] will not allow the worm to execute.
Being activated worm drops some files that are worm's parts, gets access to Outlook and spreads using it, then searching on computer hard drive for email addresses, collects them and use in alternate spreading routine.
Composing infected message to send, the worm choosing subject from one of existing messages from Outlook Inbox. The worm also attaches HTML file with worm code. File name is name of one of attachments existing in inbox with added "(9 Kbytes).vbs". Thus, infected message contain worm code twice - in the message HTML body and in the attachment.
The worm adds itself to all signature files used by MS Outlook. This means every composed message in HTML format will contain worm code.
The worm replaces Internet Explorer start page with blank one. Four days after infection the worm replaces start page again with URL pointed to "http://www.freedonation.com".
The worm has alternate spreading method that does not use Outlook at all. This routine searches on local hard drive for files with extensions "txt", "na2", "wab", "mbx", "dbx" and "dat" (these are usual extensions for mail databases) and then searches and collects e-mail addresses in these files. Collected addresses then posted (using HTML form) to worm's author internet site. Special script on that site send infected messages directly from site to every address received. Such messages have same address in "From" and "To" fields and contain only HTML body with worm code inside. This alternate spreading method will not work as soon as worm author's site will be closed.
