SCAN ENGINE: 6.150 http://www.antivirus.com/download/engines/

2. You've Got the Power - WORM_MYPOWER (Low Risk)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
WORM_MYPOWER.A is a destructive, mass-mailing worm that arrives in an email with predefined sets of subjects and message bodies. Its attachment usually carries a double extension .ZIP.SCR file and a ZIP file icon. It propagates via Microsoft Outlook by sending copies of itself to all users listed in the infected user's Global Address Book.

Occasionally, the worm creates an icon of a skull in the Windows system tray. Hovering the mouse over this icon displays a message as a Tool tip. Clicking the icon of the skull displays a message box. It also plays a sound in the PC speaker, and continuously displays this message box. This worm's destructive payload also deletes certain files.

WORM_MYPOWER.B is a non-destructive mass-mailing worm that uses MAPI to send copies of itself to all users in the infected user's Windows Address Book (WAB). The subject, message body, and attachment are chosen from a predefined list of possible choices.

Occasionally, the worm creates an icon of a skull in the Windows system tray. Hovering the mouse over this icon displays a message as a Tool tip. Clicking the icon triggers the worm to perform its mass-mailing routine again.
