Information about the Plage2000 Worm:

Plage2000 is an email worm. This worm affects Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT systems.

This worm is in Windows PE file format and it's size is 102,400 bytes. This worm spreads through email. Running an infected file installs the worm onto the system.

The worm performs the following actions.

It copies a file, INETD.EXE, to the Windows folder. It also modifies WIN.INI and registry to load itself, when Windows is next started up.
