Information about the Sonic Worm:

This worm is a rapidly spreading email worm. This worm arrives through an email bearing subject: Choose your poison or I am your poison and no body text .

The worm displays a message with following text depending upon the attachment recieved.

Girls.exe is not a valid Win32 application.
or
Lovers.exe is not a valid Win32 application.

The worm copies itself under the Windows\System directory as GDI32.exe and modifies the registry entry at the following location

The worm tries to connect to this site http://www.geocities.com/olivier1548 every 10 minutes to check the updated version of the text file - latestversion.txt to be downloaded.
