A new variant of W32/Stration worm is heavily spreading in the Internet. We have received a lot of reports of infection of W32/Stration.G worm.
The infected email contains a message similar to the other variants of W32/Stration worm. The 'From' email address in this variant will be one of the following:
Greenpxjzx@fastmail.fm
Moore2005@mail.com
Susan1952@yahoo.com
Jennifer_ukawo@mail.com
The worm carries a double extension attachment. The first extension will be MSG, DAT, ELM, LOG or TXT and the second extension BAT, CMD, EXE, PIF or SCR. In some cases there may be a lot of blank spaces in between the first and the second extension.
Upon execution the worm tries to mail itself to all the available email addresses in the infected system. The worm also alters the hosts file of the infected system to deny virus signature updates of some antivirus software.
