Earlier this month Microsoft announced (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms04-028.mspx) a problem in their GDI driver that processes the way JPEG images are displayed. Someone has finally posted an exploit to Usenet. Easynews, a premium Usenet provider, found the virus Sunday afternoon. Up-to-date information about how we found it and what it does is located at www.easynews.com/virus.txt (http://www.easynews.com/virus.txt). When this picture is viewed it installs remote management software (winvnc and radmin) and will connect to irc."
