    Description:

    W32/Anset@mm is a mass-mailing worm written in Delphi. This worm arrives as an email containing the following information:

      Subject: ANTS Version 3.0
      Message:

      Hi,

      Anh�ngend die neue Version 3.0 von ANTS, dem bislang einzigartigen kostenlosen Trojanerscanner. Zum installieren einfach die angef�gte Datei ausf�hren.

      Attached you will find the brand new Version 3.0 of ANTS, the unique freeware trojan scanner. To install ANTS simply run the attached setup file.

      Attachment: ANTS3SET.EXE
    When the attachment is run, the worm will copy itself into the Windows\System directory with a random name. The name and location of this duplicate file will be added to the following registry key:

      HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Runonce\ [random name] "C:\\Windows\[random name]"
    This will cause the worm to be activated each time the user's system is rebooted.

    W32/Anset@mm will also email a copy of itself to recipients in the Microsoft Outlook address book.

    Note: CSAV will use the generic message is a security risk or is a "backdoor" program to identify the worm.
