Hello, Dave and the list,

the address eurocoin_at_smartgoups.com is from my sign. Have recived same
kind of failure notices from;

brian_at_virgilio.it

mike_at_aol.com

That doesn´t mean, the computers using these addresses are infected, Mydoom
just pics up random addresses from the WAB (Windows adress-book file) from
the infected computers and uses them as the sender.
It can also collect the fake sending addresses ´/ addresses to senddfrom
the
following files in the infected computer;

Mail Propagation

The worm collects addresses where to send itself from Windows' Address
Book and from files with extension:

 pl
 adb
 tbb
 dbx
 asp
 php
 sht
 htm
 txt

Peer-to-Peer Spreading

The worm will look up form the Windows' Registry the value containing
the users Kazaa shared folder, and it will copy itself to that location
with a filename composed from the following list:

 winamp5
 icq2004-final
 activation_crack
 strip-girl-2.0bdcom_patches
 rootkitXP
 office_crack
 nuke2004



The summary and disinfection of Mydoom can be found from;

take care,
