Dear Trend Micro customer,

As of November 21, 2005 2:20 PM Pacific Standard Time (PST, GMT -8:00),
TrendLabs has declared a Medium Risk Virus Alert to control the spread
of WORM_SOBER.AG. TrendLabs has received several infection reports
indicating that this malware is spreading in the USA, Belgium, Canada,
Brazil, and New Zealand.

This memory-resident worm propagates by attaching a copy of itself to an
email message, which it sends to target recipients using its own Simple
Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) engine. Since it's email propagation does
not require any user intervention, the user is often unaware that this
worm is sending out email messages.

The email it sends out has the following details:

The attached .ZIP file contains the copy of this worm using the
following file name: File-packed_dataInfo.exe

When executed, it displays a fake error message box in order to trick a
user into thinking that the file did not properly execute.

This worm searches the process list of the affected system for mrt.exe,
the Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool process. If found,
it terminates the said process thus making the system more vulnerable to
malicious attacks.
