W32/Whitebait.gen@MM This mass-mailing worm drops a remote access trojan and attempts to send itself to email addresses found within files on the local system. Currently this worm is incapable of emailing itself to others due to the fact that the hard coded mail server used (smtp.wanadoo.fr) has turned relaying off.
