Also Known As: Troj/MSNMk-I (SOPHOS) W32 MSNmaker
Danger Level: 6
Category Description: Virus-like program that spreads automatically to other computers by sending itself out by email or by any other means. A program that propagates itself by attacking other machines and copying itself to the affected machine.

Worms have self-replicating code that travels from machine to machine by various means. A worms first objective is merely propagation. Worms can be destructive depending on what payload they have been given. Worms may replace files, but do not insert themselves into files.
Comment: W32.MSNmaker is a worm that spreads through MSN Messenger. This worm arrives as a file manually sent by a malicious user via MSN Messenger.

When executed, this worm rename the original file as msrr.exe and replaces the original MSN Messenger executable file msnmsgr.exe with a copy of itself.
When the worm is executed, it also executes msrr.exe to avoid immediate detection.
