  See the description of the Bugbear worm at the site I
posted. It spoofs e-mail. It will use parts of e-mail stored
in the infected machine to disguise the actual source. Very
nasty. It also installs a back door port allowing the
infected machine making it vulnerable to attacks on its file
system. The worm also allows a hostile machine to get at
anything attached to a network its on. Only one machine on a
network needs to be infected in order for the worm to
propagate throughout the network.
  Trend Microsystems (PC-cillin) and Norton anti-virus
programs are effective in stopping this worm but you must
have the latest virus pattern installed.
