The virus tries to send E-mails to all adresses in the Outlook

A second routine tries to connect to the IRC-server. If it gets a
connection, it tries to hold it by sending data, to gat all commands from
the IRC-channel. As long as this is possible, the virus author could use
the virus as a trojan. He can get information from you, such as computer
name,registered users, passwords etc.
Deleting the virus:
- Use a virusscan and note all infected virusfiles. Do not remove
the virus! If you did, follow steps 10-12.
- Start Regedit (Start => Run => 'Regedit' or
'Regedt32' under NT)
- Remove the references of the virus from the following registry keys:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\command\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\exefile\CLASSES\exefile\shell\open\command\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\exefile\shell\open\command (if
exists)
All this keys should only contain the value "%1%*".
- If possible, remove all keys, that start the virus, under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices\
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
- Remove the registry key (if it exists)
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.dl

- If you have deleted the virus before correcting the registry, you
should repair this immediately. Start your PC in MS-DOS mode and
create a file UNDO.REG. Edit this file by entering the following
commands:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\command]
@="\"%1\" %*"
