W95.Babylonia was originally
posted to an Internet news group on the night of Dec 3, 1999
as a Windows Help file named serialz.hlp and appeared to be
a list of serial numbers for commercial software. When this
Windows help file is launched, it will introduce the virus
into the computer system.
The virus appears to have been
written by the same individual who released the W32.Coke and
W95.Fono (a.k.a. El_Inca) viruses.
W95.Babylonia is a complex virus
that propagates mainly to other computer users via MIRC or
as regular attachment in an e-mail message. Additionally,
all infected .HLP and .EXE files can cause infection on other
systems. This Windows 95 virus employs many proven infection
techniques that have been developed by virus writers for the
Windows 9x platforms over the past few years.
It is a very complicated virus.
