PLEASE FOLKS, update your virus protection!

Due to an increase in submissions, Symantec Security Response has upgraded this threat from a Category 2 to a Category 3 as of January 9, 2003.

W32.Lirva.A is a mass-mailing worm that also spreads by the IRC, ICQ, KaZaA, and open network shares. This worm attempts to terminate antivirus and firewall products. It also emails the cached Windows 95/98/Me dial-up networking passwords to the virus writer.

When Microsoft Outlook receives the worm, the worm takes advantage of a vulnerability that allows the attachment to auto-execute when you read or preview the email.

If the day of the month is the 7th, 11th, or 24th, the worm will launch your Web browser to
