More Information

VBS/Flea-A is a worm that propagates via HTML email. The worm arrives as the signature to an HTML email.

When the HTML email is rendered a webpage is loaded and JavaScript on it is run. The JavaScript then loads another webpage containing VB Script that will drop a file C<random number>.HTM in the Windows folder.

This file will also be set to the signature of Outlook Express.
