Information from www.sophos.com
If you've got AV software, update it now - if not, why not!?
W32/Bugbear-B is a network-aware virus. W32/Bugbear-B spreads by sending emails containing attachments and by locating shared resources on your network to which it can copy itself.
The virus attempts to exploit a MIME and an IFRAME vulnerability in some versions of Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Express, and Internet Explorer. These vulnerabilities allow an executable attachment to run automatically, even if you do not double-click on the attachment. Microsoft has issued a patch which secures against these attacks. The patch can be downloaded from Microsoft Security Bulletin MS01-027. (This patch was released to fix a number of vulnerabilities in Microsoft's software, including the ones exploited by this virus.)
If the virus activates, several new files will appear on your computer. Their names consist of letters of the alphabet randomly chosen by the virus. You will find:
xxx.EXE (usually 72192 bytes) in the Startup folder
and
zzzzzzz.DLL (usually 5632 bytes) in the System folder
The EXE file is an executable copy of the virus. The DLL is a keystroke logging tool which is used by the virus when it is activated.
The virus spreads itself via email. The emails can look like normal emails or they could have no body text and one of the following subject lines:

Attachments can have the same filename as another file on the victim's computer.
The attachments have double extensions with the final extension being EXE, SCR or PIF.

W32/Bugbear-B has a thread running in the background which attempts to terminate anti-virus and security programs with one of the following filenames:
ZONEALARM.EXE, WFINDV32.EXE, WEBSCANX.EXE, VSSTAT.EXE, VSHWIN32.EXE, VSECOMR.EXE, VSCAN40.EXE, VETTRAY.EXE, VET95.EXE, TDS2-NT.EXE, TDS2-98.EXE, TCA.EXE, TBSCAN.EXE, SWEEP95.EXE, SPHINX.EXE, SMC.EXE, SERV95.EXE, SCRSCAN.EXE, SCANPM.EXE, SCAN95.EXE, SCAN32.EXE, SAFEWEB.EXE, RESCUE.EXE, RAV7WIN.EXE, RAV7.EXE, PERSFW.EXE, PCFWALLICON.EXE, PCCWIN98.EXE, PAVW.EXE, PAVSCHED.EXE, PAVCL.EXE, PADMIN.EXE, OUTPOST.EXE, NVC95.EXE, NUPGRADE.EXE, NORMIST.EXE, NMAIN.EXE, NISUM.EXE, NAVWNT.EXE, NAVW32.EXE, NAVNT.EXE, NAVLU32.EXE, NAVAPW32.EXE, N32SCANW.EXE, MPFTRAY.EXE, MOOLIVE.EXE, LUALL.EXE, LOOKOUT.EXE, LOCKDOWN2000.EXE, JEDI.EXE, IOMON98.EXE, IFACE.EXE, ICSUPPNT.EXE, ICSUPP95.EXE, ICMON.EXE, ICLOADNT.EXE, ICLOAD95.EXE, IBMAVSP.EXE, IBMASN.EXE, IAMSERV.EXE, IAMAPP.EXE, FRW.EXE, FPROT.EXE, FP-WIN.EXE, FINDVIRU.EXE, F-STOPW.EXE, F-PROT95.EXE, F-PROT.EXE, F-AGNT95.EXE, ESPWATCH.EXE, ESAFE.EXE, ECENGINE.EXE, DVP95_0.EXE, DVP95.EXE, CLEANER3.EXE, CLEANER.EXE, CLAW95CF.EXE, CLAW95.EXE, CFINET32.EXE, CFINET.EXE, CFIAUDIT.EXE, CFIADMIN.EXE, BLACKICE.EXE, BLACKD.EXE, AVWUPD32.EXE, AVWIN95.EXE, AVSCHED32.EXE, AVPUPD.EXE, AVPTC32.EXE, AVPM.EXE, AVPDOS32.EXE, AVPCC.EXE, AVP32.EXE, AVP.EXE, AVNT.EXE, AVKSERV.EXE, AVGCTRL.EXE, AVE32.EXE, AVCONSOL.EXE, AUTODOWN.EXE, APVXDWIN.EXE, ANTI-TROJAN.EXE, ACKWIN32.EXE, _AVPM.EXE, _AVPCC.EXE, _AVP32.EXE
The keylogging component of W32/Bugbear-B (the DLL) hooks the keyboard input so that it records keystrokes to memory.
W32/Bugbear-B opens port 1080 and listens for commands from a remote machine. Depending on the command issued the remote user may attempt the following on the victim's computer:
Retrieve cached passwords in an encrypted form
Download and execute a file
Find files
Delete files
Execute files
Copy files
Write to files
List processes
Terminate processes
Retrieve information such as username, type of processor, Windows version, Memory information (amount used, amount free, etc), Drive information (types of local drives available, amount of space available on these drives, etc).
The remote user may also attempt to open port 80 (HTTP) on the victim's computer, then connect to the backdoor web server (possibly an Apache 1.3.26-type web server) provided by W32/Bugbear-B and thus achieve a level of control over the infected computer.
Example of a remote user accessing an infected computer using the backdoor

AV = Anti Virus
Even if not, this virus can be stopped by getting the correct patch from http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com If you're not sure which patch you need, just get all the critical ones
