CREATIVE, TROJ_PROLIN.A, W32/ProLin@MM <mailto:W32/ProLin@MM> ,
I-Worm.Creative, Prolin-Shockwave,

Microsoft Outlook application. The worm itself is coded in Visual Basic 6
and compiled
as an executable named CREATIVE.EXE. It carries the icon of a Shockwave
Media Player application; however, it is not.
The worm may be received via email in the following form: SUBJECT: "A great
Shockwave flash movie". BODY: "Check out this new flash movie that I
downloaded just now... It's Great.
Bye". ATTACHMENT: CREATIVE.EXE. If you run CREATIVE.EXE, it finds and
alters all .JPG and .ZIP files on your system and forwards a copy of itself
to everyone in your email address book.
