Here's Symantec's write-up: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/vbs.noped.a@mm.html It's a mass mailer worm that can be isolated and disposed of rather quickly. The virus assesses the host drive and if it sees files from its pre-determined list, it displays a message, changes several settings on the machine, mails itself out to e-mail addresses it finds, and sends mail containing a partial list of the host's filenames to predefined targets. Nothing new from a technical point of view. Cheers, Bob Briggs Westport, MA
