Virus Information - Win32/Donut.A Worm:
Win32/Donut is the first virus to use Microsoft's
.NET.
When an infected file is executed, it searches
for executable file types of .NET. It replaces the 5 Bytes stub of the
file entry point and infects it by replacing it with a jump instruction.
While infecting it checks for platform and infects Windows 2000 or Windows
XP. It tries to infect all the .EXE files under current directory. It may
copy itself repeatedly by adding a space to the filename to the existing
filename.
Some times it may display a message box
with the following content
This cell has been infected by dotNET
virus!
