MyLife Internet Worm Details - Versions A - F

Overview MyLife is a family of worms (different versions) spreading through the Internet as infected email attachments. The worms themselves are Windows PE EXE files, written in Visual Basic and compressed by the UPX file compression utility. The worm is activated only if users click on the attachment. Once executed, MyLife installs itself into the system and runs its spreading routine. When MyLife is launched for the first time it shows either a window with a picture or message, which one depends on the particular version.
