JS/The_Fly is a worm that mass-mails itself. It is written with
JavaScript and it is spread in a compiled HTML file. These files use
extension "CHM".
When the worm is executed, it first copies itself to Windows directory
as "THE_FLY.CHM" and to Windows system directory as "DXGFXB3D.DLL".
Next t opens a window with a picture and the following message:
If you ride a motorcycle, close your mouth.
After the window has been shown the worm drops an JavaScript file,
"MSJSVM.JS", to the Windows system directory. The it modifies the
Windows registry in a such way that this script will be executed on
each system startup.
Then JS/The_Fly will use Outlook to mass-mail itself to all recipients
in all address books. The message it sends looks as follows:
Subject: Funny thing
Body: > If you ride a motorcycle, close your mounth. :)
Attachment: THE_FLY.CHM
This worm removes sent mail from the user's "Sent items" folder to
hide itself.
When the system is restarted, the "MSJSVM.JS" script executes. This
script will alter mIRC and Pirch98 IRC clients settings in a such way,
that the worm will be sent each time when the user joins a IRC chat
channel. It replaces the "script.ini" from the mIRC installation
directory and "events.ini" from Pirch98 installation directory.
Finally, the number of minutes is equal to 30, JS/The_Fly shows a
message box with the following text:
//MIRC/OUTLOOK/PIRCH.CommonSense by Zulu
if (CommonSense == true) {
God = false;
Religion = false;
}
else {
God = true;
Religion = true;
}
This variant is the same as The_Fly.A, except the virus code has been
encrypted.
