F-Secure Virus Descriptions : LoveLetter.BL





NAME:LoveLetter.BL

Information about the original VBS/LoveLetter.A is available at: http://www.F-Secure.com/v-descs/love.shtml

VBS/LoveLetter.BL spreads in email messages with the following characteristics:

	Subject:    Rock the Vote
	Body:       I thought you would find this interesting :)
	Attachment: al_gore.vbs

When the attached file is executed, the worm copies itself to the Windows System directory as "system32.vbs" and to the Windows temporary directory as "al_gore.vbs".

Then it sends itself to all recipients listed on all Outlook address books.

Finally VBS/LoveLetter.BL goes through all hard drives and network drives, and deletes files with extensions ".asp", ".jpg", ".gif", ".htm", ".html", ".css", ".mp3", ".mp2", ".mod", ".mpeg" or ".mpg". For each deleted file the worm creates a new file with the ".vbs" extension to the end of the file name. These files contain the worm itself.
