Additional Details
Godzilla.A uses Outlook Express 5.0 to spread as HTML source in
each email from infected machine. To do this it saves its code
in Update.hta in Windows Startup folder:
C:\WINDOWS\START MENU\PROGRAMS\STARTUP\
so it will be executed next time when the system is restarted.
The virus also saves itself in C:\Windows folder in a file
Sign.html. By modifying the Windows registry:
HKCU\Identities\DefaultUserID\Software\Microsoft\OutlookExpress\5.0\Signatures
it changes Outlook Express signature to use Sign.html. On that
way the worm code will be embedded in each outgoing email message.
