>VBS_STAGES.A is an Internet worm, which spreads using multiple applications by taking advantage of any of the installed software like Microsoft Outlook, Pirch, mIRC, and even to available mapped drives. Like other known VBS worm, this may arrive via email with a scrap file attachment (LIFE_STAGES.TXT.SHS). This scrap file can easily fool the user into believing it is a text file because the extension is not shown and the file assumes the icon of a text file. When this scrap file is executed, it invokes notepad to display a text file containing a joke about the stages of life of both male and female
This one is much more clever than the ILOVEYOU version. I've received two copies of it today with different subject lines, FW. Joke and Funny Text. Both of which are fairly common when people send jokes.
Luckily I am a very suspicious person when it comes to e-mail from our corporate office < s > and I deleted both before they could do anything.
