Default W32/MyLife-J

Name: W32/MyLife-J
Type: Win32 worm
Date: 12 April 2002

At the time of writing Sophos has received just one report of
this worm from the wild.

Description:

W32/MyLife-J is a Win32 worm that copies itself to the Windows
system folder as usa.scr and sh.scr and creates the following
registry value so that the copy will be run on Windows startup:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Scr

When first executed the worm will check to see if the file
usa.scr exists in the system directory. If the file does exist
and the time is between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. the worm will delete
all files from drive C:.

If the copy of the worm does not exist then a window will be
displayed with the title "SHARON", containing a caricature of an
ox along with the text "wE * sAy *iT's* oX * tHeY * sAy * mIlK *
iT * !!". The worm then sends itself to addresses from the
Outlook address book, using an email with the following
characteristics:

Subject line:
