Email-Worm.Win32.Klez

Detect Date 02/07/2002
Class Email-Worm
Platform Win32
Description

The Klez.h variant of the Klez worm family is very similar to Klez.e. The differences are:

  1. This variant has no payload and doesn’t destroy files.
  2. It brings with it additional variants of infected Messages, Subjects and Bodies.

Example of a Klez.h email message Subject and Body content:

Worm Klez.E immunity



Klez.E is the most common world-wide spreading worm.



It's very dangerous by corrupting your files.



Because of its very smart stealth and anti-anti-virus technic,



most common AV software can't detect or clean it.



We developed this free immunity tool to defeat the malicious virus.



You only need to run this tool once,and then Klez will never come into your PC.



NOTE: Because this tool acts as a fake Klez to fool the real worm,



some AV monitor maybe cry when you run it.



If so,Ignore the warning,and select 'continue'.



If you have any question,please mail to me.

This worm looks for files with the following extensions:

.txt .htm .html .wab .asp .doc .rtf .xls .jpg .cpp .c .pas .mpg .mpeg .bak .mp3 .pdf

Depending on several conditions Klez.h attaches a file with one of the above listed extensions to infected emails (as the second attached file). As a result, confidential or personal information may be sent out and made public.

Another example of Klez.h email message content:
