aka: VBS.SST@mm, On The Fly, Kalamar
type: Virus, Worm, Backdoor
host platform: Windows
first incidence: None yet
last incidence: None yet
level of incidence: Low
damage capacity: Low
links: McAfee, Norton
look for: Email with attachments claiming to contain pictures of the tennis player Anna Kournikova. The file attached is the virus. Keep an eye out for subjects such as "Here you are ;-)," "Here you have ;o)" and "Here you go ;-)."
A recently discovered virus that spreads like the "ILOVEYOU" virus of the past, AnnaKournikova uses an email with an attachment claiming to be an image of the tennis player Anna Kournikova. This is no picture, but a Visual Basic script file which, when opened, infects the machine. As part of infections, the virus will mail itself out to others in the address book of the user.
The following symptoms indicate a probable infection by the virus:
: Existence of the file "c:\WINDOWS\AnnaKournikova.jpg.vbs"
: Existence of the registry key HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\OnTheFly
To remove the virus download the latest engine and 'dat' files for your virus detection software and run a virus scan.
Machines that have Microsoft's "Scriptlet.eyedog" patch installed (a patch which helps contain renegade VBS scripts) should be ok. Windows 95, 98, Me and 2000 machines that do not have Windows Scripting installed will be safe. Most machine, however, do have Scripting installed and users should download the latest engine and 'dat' files for their virus software.
