New IRC, AIM and Email "Blended Threat" Worm
>From the Symantec AntiVirus site:
W32.A p l o r e @mm is a [brand new] mass-mailing worm that attempts to spread using email, IRC and AOL Instant Messenger (AIM).
The worm sends an email containing the attachment P s e c u r e 20 x-c g i-i n s t a l l. v e r s i o n .6.01. b i n.h x.c o m to all addresses found in the Microsoft Outlook address book.
When connected to IRC or AIM, the worm sends a web link to IRC channels or AIM contacts which references an .html file which was dropped on the infected computer. This file displays as a Webpage which asks the visitor to run a copy of the worm....
