Description:
VBS_STAGES.A is an Internet worm that spreads using multiple applications by taking advantage of any of the installed software such as Microsoft Outlook, Pirch, mIRC, and available mapped drives. Like other known VBS worms, this may arrive via email with a scrap file attachment (LIFE_STAGES.TXT.SHS). This scrap file can easily fool the user into believing it is a text file because the extension is not shown and the file assumes the icon of a text file. When this scrap file is executed, it invokes notepad to display a text file containing a joke about the stages of life for both males and females.
