  • Name: W32/Bridex.A@mm
    Aliases: W32/Braid.a@MM, W32.Brid.A@mm, Bridex, W32.Bridex.A@mm, PE_BRID.A, W32/Braid-A
    Type: Internet Worm
    Discovery Date: November 4, 2002

    Description:

    W32/Bridex.A@mm is a mass-mailer worm written in Visual Basic that arrives as an email attachment entitled "README.EXE". This worm relies upon the file "MSVBVM60.DLL" being available on the victim's system in order to run.
    The worm is activated when the user clicks on the attachment. It copies itself as "REGEDIT.EXE" to the Windows System directory and adds a startup key to the registry to activate this file at every system reboot. It then copies the following two files to the infected system:

    Bridex also drops a slightly modified version of the FunLove virus on the infected computer (we detect it as W32/FunLove.4099).

    Bridex contains its own SMTP engine, and will attempt to email a copy of itself to everyone in the MS Outlook Address book, as well as email addresses it finds in .htm and .dbx files on the infected system.

    Detection:

    Command Antivirus version 4.58.3 or higher with definition files dated 11/07/2002 will detect this virus.
