F-Secure Virus Descriptions : Lentin





NAME:Lentin
ALIAS:I-Worm.Lentin, Valscr

Lentin is a mass-mailing worm. Before spreading it looks for e-mail addresses in Windows Address Book, MSN and .NET messenger cache folders and HTM(L) files. The worm spreads itself as 'VALENTIN.SCR' in a message with the following subject line:

 "Fw: Melt the Heart of your Valentine with this beautiful Screen saver"

The worm's message looks like a forwarded message from a Valentine's screensaver distribution mailing list.
