W32.Lirva.C@mm is a mass-mailing worm that also spreads by IRC, ICQ, KaZaA,
and open network shares. It is a variant of W32.Lirva.A@mm. This worm
attempts to terminate antivirus and firewall products. It also emails the
cached Windows 95/98/Me dial-up networking passwords to the virus writer.
The worm connects to a Web site on web.host.kz/ and downloads BackOrifice,
which it executes. W32.Lirva.C@mm also attempts to download another file,
which is currently not present on the Web site.
When Microsoft Outlook receives the worm, the worm takes advantage of a
vulnerability that allows the attachment to auto-execute when you read or
preview the email.

Want to hear something scary? I have ZERO anti-virus protection on my computer. sad.gif When I upgraded to Windows XP, it no longer accepts my Norton CD. So I can't install it on my PC. I guess I'll just have to go out and spend like 50 bux or whatever on a new antivirus software. I checked online and all of the things that you download are for only like a short trial basis. Any other suggestions, or should I just go out and buy a new copy of Norton?
