It sounds like the Sober worm.
Check out Symantec's page on it-

It generates random domain names like aol.com...

I know they CAN and I know I wont get one.
Pray to GOD for him to reveal himself to you.

7 dust man... The doomsday at my school. Come w/ escape velocity... Took out a good 20 of our comps one year.
Pardon my rudeness, I cannot abide useless people.
Well, after doing a few Whois lookups on the raw source it looks like it may have originated at:

Anybody playing TT on the company computer :)
That is a rather large net range though; 65.65.34.129 to be more specific.

Amen!
I love my randylion
My teacher got a worm today, but he wasn't specific on what worm it was. I think it was the Sober Worm. Watch your toes! :P

@ Windows/Mac users,
Why waste $$ and time on O/S other than Linux. Fast, efficient, and great community support. Make the switch, and you will never go back. I am rather new at Linux, and you can install something similar to Windows ie graphic installer, or build a system from you own accord.

Linux- The choice of a GNU generation!!!
Agree with ^, Linus is Awesome! Always has a warm, comfy blanket near by too.

@ SK
Fore me Linux could almost be a contender if it had Quicktime...

@ Flea,
Try this... Quicktime for LInux .
Linux has most things, and for everything else there is Mastercard!!!

Handy little website here.

Macs aren't screwed and lightly armored in replacement of heavy weaponry. They are faster and bigger, in order to acommodate heavy armor and powerful weapons. It would take quite a few bullets, or in this case, worms, to penetrate the thick outer shell of the Mac Tank.
Sorry, I've been playing too much Battalion Wars... :S

Linux rocks. I will never go back to windows and never spend the money on a mac.
Page : <1> :
Anyone else getting emails with this similar body content? (It has been in more than one email with different "password" info, such as www.arkansas.gov.) It comes from "info@...".
Account and Password Information are attached!
***** Go to: http://www.aol.com
***** Email: postman@aol.com
And it has a zip file named; reg_pass.zip (54.2 KB)
I read that the Sober worm is passing around on Wintel machines but the zip file is supposed to be around 73 KB. (perhaps a Mac difference?)
Does someone want a copy of this to examine? (Err... Not just anyone I suppose.)
What is it?
