F-Secure Virus Descriptions : Antiman

 [HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop]
 "SCRNSAVE.EXE" = "%WinDir%\funny.scr"

The worm creates the M.TXT file in the root of C: drive to verify that it has suitable access rights.

Spreading in e-mails

Before spreading the worm scans certain files on a hard disk to harvest victims' e-mail addresses. The following files are scanned:

 Deleted Items.dbx
 Inbox.dbx
 Outbox.dbx
 C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger\ypager.log
 C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger\ypager2.log

To send e-mails the worm uses either the default user's SMTP server or the hardcoded list of SMTP servers:

 mail.iasi.rdsnet.ro
 smtp.dnt.ro
 scentra.dntcj.ro
 relay-1.dntis.ro
 mail.easynet.ro
 relay1.romania.eu.net
 mail-relay.eu.net
 smtp.fx.ro
 ns.matco.ro
 mail.mailbox.ro
 mx.kappa.ro
 mx2.kappa.ro
 mx1.pcnet.ro
 mail.rdsnet.ro
 mail.rdslink.ro
 tag.starnets.ro
 mail.totalnet.ro
 relay.totalnet.ro
 mail.xnet.ro
 mail.remote.xnet.ro
 mail.remote1.xnet.ro
 mail.pcnet.ro
 smtp.xnet.ro
 smtp.home.ro
 mail.home.ro
 relay.n0i.net
 omega.tuiasi.ro
 hal.cs.tuiasi.ro

The worm sends messages with different subjects, body texts and attachment names. Here's the list of possible e-mail subjects:

 Poza de la mare
 Antivirus
 Sex in camin
 Faza cu camila
 De ce mor mai repede curiosii...
 Antimanele

Here's the list of possible e-mail body texts:

 Ti-am trimis ultima poza de la mare. Asta e?

 Asta e ultimul antivirus. Ar trebui sa rezolve toate problemele.

 Ioana, sex in grup in camin. Cred ca o stii si tu ;)

 :)))))))

 Nu deschide acest mesaj! E numai pentru persoanele prea curioase!

 Daca sunteti nu mai suportati manelele la servici, tramvai, taxi, metrou, etc., trimiteti acest mesaj la toti prietenii dvs. !
 Va multumesc (din suflet).

Here's the list of possible worm's attachment names:

 scan_picture_0001._JPG.exe
 antivirus.exe
 ioana_divx._AVI.exe
 camila.exe
 curiosii.exe
 antimanele.exe

The worm fakes the sender's e-mail address. It can be one of the following:

 alexandra@yahoo.com
 ionut@yahoo.com
 mariana@yahoo.com
 alice@yahoo.com
 bia@yahoo.com
 Ionut Popovici@xnet.ro
 Georgiana@fantasy.ro
 office@bitdefender.ro
 antimanele@antimanele.go.ro

Payload

The worm has a nasty payload. When it scans files on a hard disk, it checks the files with the following extensions:

 .mp3
 .wma
 .avi
 .wav
 .mid
 .midi
 .asf
 .mpg
 .mpeg
 .jpeg
 .jpg
 .bmp
 .rar
 .zip
 .ace

If these files contain any of the following strings in their names, they are deleted from a hard drive:
