Subject: Another MS Outlook/Outlook Express e-mail Worm
> From MacinTouch.com, Dec. 20, 2001:
>
> ITWorld has an article on the latest MS Windows worm making the rounds:
>
> "The worm, called Reeezak, appears in in-boxes with the subject
> line "Hi," and a message that reads "I can't describe my
feelings, but
> all I can say is Happy New Year :-) Bye," according to Ian
> Hameroff, business manager for security solutions at [Computer
> Associates]. An attachment called "Christmas.exe" accompanies the
> e-mail and appears to be a Macromedia Inc. Flash animation,
> Hameroff said. When the attachment is double-clicked, the worm
> sends itself to all addresses listed in the user's address book
and
> also tries to delete all the files in the Windows directory as
well as
> disabling some keys on the keyboard, he said. The worm only
> affects users of Microsoft Corp.'s Outlook or Outlook Express
> e-mail clients, according to Hameroff."
