Viruses on XJW-central mailing list?

    I got on the XJW-central email list and for the last few days some of the messages look pretty suspicious.
    I know I'm gonna get a security lecture for this, but I haven't been running any anti-virus. I also don't open the attachments.
    Today, one of the messages had an attached .exe file and .txt file.
    I did look at the .txt file and thought I'd post it to see what some of our more educated members can tell me about it.

    The 2 attachments are "DETLOG.EXE" and "DETLOG.TXT" and I'm including the .txt file in this post:

    Looks like a virus to me. If you run your virus scan it will catch it and kill it, or lock it away for you.

    Not necessarily: this may be a diagnostic program. This one looks similar to Norton's old SysInfo type programs. The exe runs and 'dumps' what it finds in a system scan to the text file. The jury is still out, but being paranoid is smart.

    Thanks.

    I started this thread because the virus(?) is on an ex-jw email list. This list has some good content, but also has some spam and messages of questionable content. There's quite a few html messages in which the html is carried as an attachment. Now it's getting messages with .exe files so someone on the list is up to no good.
    I'm going to try and track down who runs it and let them know.

    Next time one of the messages shows up with an attachment I'm going to scan it with Norton and I'll let y'all know the results.
    (Yes I have Norton, I just don't have it run automatically)

    From the SARC website regarding the KLEZ virus:
    http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.klez.h@mm.html

    Releases confidential info: Worm randomly chooses a file from the machine to send along with the worm to recipients. So files with the extensions: ".mp8" or ".txt" or ".htm" or ".html" or ".wab" or ".asp" or ".doc" or ".rtf" or ".xls" or ".jpg" or ".cpp" or ".pas" or ".mpg" or ".mpeg" or ".bak" or ".mp3" or ".pdf" would be attached to e-mail messages along with the viral attachment.
    The file you have shown above DETLOG.TXT seems vaguely familiar as a the hardware detection log from the installation of software (maybe the installation of Windows).

    In other words, the contents of the file is a read herring, but it is consistent with the KLEZ virus to see a random file attached.

    BTW, SARC has a *FREE* online virus scanner. They also have *FREE* removal tools for certain virii (including KLEZ). http://www.sarc.com/

    Very likely that it's Klez.
