PC World: Mimail.C, a variant of the W32.Mimail worm, arrives as an e-mail nessage with "our private photos" in the subject line and an attached .zip archive file called "photos.zip." The attached "PHOTOS.JPG.EXE" file harvests e-mail addresses from the user's PC to mail copies itself to additional recipients, as well as send information captured from applications the user has open to certain e-mail addresses programmed into the malicious code. The worm then attempts to launch a denial of service attack on Web sites at darkprofits.com and darkprofits.net.
