--
If you think that you may be infected with this threat, and are unsure how to check your system, you may download the Stinger tool to scan your system and remove the virus if present. This is not required for McAfee users as McAfee products are capable of detecting and removing the virus with the latest update. (see the removal instructions below for more information).
Note: Receiving an email alert stating that the virus came from your email address is not an indication that you are infected as the virus often forges the from address.
This is a mass-mailing worm with the following characteristics:
contains its own SMTP engine to construct outgoing messages
harvests email addresses from the victim machine
the From: address of messages is spoofed
contains a remote access component
copies itself to folders that have the phrase shar in the name (such as common peer-to-peer applications; KaZaa, Bearshare, Limewire, etc)

Joke
The virus copies itself into the Windows System directory as BAWINDO.EXE. For example:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\bawindo.exe
It also creates other files in this directory to perform its functions:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\bawindo.exeopen
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\bawindo.exeopenopen
The following Registry key is added to hook system startup:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Run "bawindo" = "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\bawindo.exe"
A mutex is created to ensure only one instance of the worm is running at a time. One of the following mutex names is used in an attempt to stop particular variants of W32/Netsky running on the infected machine:
'D'r'o'p'p'e'd'S'k'y'N'e't'
_-oOaxX|-+S+-+k+-+y+-+N+-+e+-+t+-|XxKOo-_
