    Exclamation W32/Holar.h (AKA WLots)

    There is a new variant of Holar going around masquerading as a message from dispatch@mcafee.com. Why anyone would open a message from dispatch@mcafee.com and see that the message body contains pornography or stupidity and then STILL go on to execute the attachment is beyond me, but somehow it still happens.

    Here are some details from the McAfee AVERT site :

    AVERT is currently analyzing this threat. Details will be published as they become available. This threat is proactively detected as New MSVB P2P worm when using the 4266 DAT files with the 4.2.40 scan engine and scanning compressed executables (a default scan option).
    This variant of the worm is very similar to previous variants. It is intended to propagate via email and sharing itself over P2P networks.

    The worm consists of a 3-file sandwich:

    DROPPER COMPONENT | PROPAGATION COMPONENT | SMTP LIBRARY
    The dropper component is intended to drop and run the other components:

    Propagation component: 56,614 bytes
    SMTP library: 25,737 bytes
    Strings within the dropper and propagation components suggest the worm is intended to arrive in a message with the following characteristics:

    From: Dispatch@McAfee.com

    Various subject lines and message bodies are carried within the worm...

    ...Attachment: Various filenames chosen from the following list (tailored to subject/message body):
