Aliases :

Win32.MyLife.F@mm is also known as N/A.

Explanation :

This version is very similar to Win32.MyLife.C@mm; the most obvious difference is in the name of the virus file: List480.TXT.scr.

It arrives as an attachment to an e-mail message in this format:

Subject:The List
Body:
Hiiiii
How are youuuuuuuu?

Notepad = list
list = 37

Attachement: "List480.TXT.scr" (size: ~ 8 KB)



The attachment's filename extension is (as before) chosen to fool the user into thinking it is a Windows screen-saver. When run, the virus first displays an "error" message box:



then drops a copy of itself in the Windows System folder and registers it to be run each time the "infected" user logs on to Windows. The virus will send copies of itself to all the user's contacts in the Address Book and the MSN Messenger contact list, by creating e-mail messages in the format described above.

When run again (for example, each time the user logs on to Windows), the virus displays a mocking message box:



As a payload, the virus attempts (under certain conditions, such as a specific day and minute of hour) to format some hard-disk partitions (D:, E:, F:, G:, H:, I:) and to delete all of the folders in the C: hard-disk partitions; the result of this action, if successful, would be the loss of almost all of the user's data.
