ummm...the worm sorts through your emails address book, and comes up with names of people you know, or people you have at least recieved email from before.

"Email spoofing
W32.Sobig.F@mm uses a technique known as "spoofing," by which the worm randomly selects an address it finds on an infected computer. The worm uses this address as the "From" address when it performs its mass-mailing routine. Numerous cases have been reported in which users of uninfected computers received complaints that they sent an infected message to another individual."

"For example, Linda Anderson is using a computer infected with W32.Sobig.F@mm. Linda is neither using an antivirus program nor has the current virus definitions. When W32.Sobig.F@mm performs its email routine, it finds the email address of Harold Logan. The worm inserts Harold's email address into the "From" portion of an infected message, which it then sends to Janet Bishop. Then, Janet contacts Harold and complains that he sent her an infected message; however, when Harold scans his computer, Norton AntiVirus does not find anything, because his computer is not infected."

"The worm uses its own SMTP engine to propagate and attempts to create a copy of itself on accessible network shares, but fails due to bugs in the code.


Email routine details
The email message has the following characteristics:

From: Spoofed address (which means that the sender in the "From" field is most likely not the real sender). The worm may also use the address admin@internet.com as the sender.

NOTES:
The spoofed addresses and the Send To addresses are both taken from the files found on the computer. Also, the worm may use the settings of the infected computer's settings to check for an SMTP server to contact.
The choice of the internet.com domain appears to be arbitrary and does not have any connection to the actual domain or its parent company.

W32.Sobig.F@mm virus
i got 3-emails to day with it from the mail sever reporting a error on fail mail send out to a addess i send it to and a unknone mail host "postmaster@eci-mgr-01" and "Postmaster@mail.dk" Norton stop it dead and deleted it real fast best block these e-mail address.

§láshèr™«FR» 09-05-2003 08:15 PM

Today has been a verry heavey day for this damm worm. I have recived OVER 150 emails with this thing on it...And thats Just today! LMAO.......Please people,run the removal tool and check your pc.


My Grand total of emails recived with this worm is well over 500.





Here is part of what virus is causing this:
(copied from Symantec's website then from AW' post at DFArena)



W32.Sobig.F@mm is a mass-mailing, network-aware worm that sends itself to all the email addresses it finds in the files that have the following extensions:


.dbx
.eml
.hlp
.htm
.html
.mht
.wab
.txt

The worm uses its own SMTP engine to propagate. It also attempts to create a copy of itself on accessible network shares, but fails due to bugs in the code.


Email routine details
The email message has the following characteristics:

From: Spoofed address (which means that the sender in the "From" field is most likely not the real sender). The worm may also use the address, admin@internet.com, as the sender.

NOTES:
The spoofed addresses and the Send To addresses are both taken from the files found on the computer. Also, the worm may use the settings of the infected computer's settings to check for an SMTP server to contact.
The choice of the internet.com domain appears to be arbitrary and does not have any connection to the actual domain or its parent company.

movie0045.pif


NOTES:
The worm de-activates on September 10, 2003. The last day on which the worm will spread is September 9, 2003.
The aforementioned de-activation date applies only to the mass-mailing, network propagation, and email address collection routines. This means that a W32.Sobig.F@mm-infected computer will still attempt to download the updates from the respective list of master servers during the associated trigger period, even after the infection de-activation date. Previous variants of Sobig exhibited similar behavior.
Outbound udp traffic was observed on August 22nd, coming from systems infected with both Sobig.E and Sobig.F. However, the target IP addresses were either not responding, taken offline, or contained non-executable content; that is, a link to an adult site.
W32.Sobig.F@mm uses a technique known as "email spoofing," by which the worm randomly selects an address it finds on an infected computer. For more information on email spoofing, see the "Technical Details" section below.

Symantec Security Response has developed a removal tool to clean the infections of W32.Sobig.F@mm.

Also Known As: Sobig.F [F-Secure], W32/Sobig.f@MM [McAfee], WORM SOBIG.F [Trend], W32/Sobig-F [Sophos], Win32.Sobig.F [CA], I-Worm.Sobig.f [KAV]

Type: Worm
Infection Length: about 72,000 bytes



Systems Affected: Windows 2000, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT, Windows XP
Systems Not Affected: Linux, Macintosh, OS/2, UNIX, Windows 3.x
