Stration B and Stration C Worms
Two variants of W32/Stration worm are heavily spreading in the Internet. There has been numerous reports of infection of W32/Stration.B and W32/Stration.C variants of the worm.

The infected email contains a message that there was an error while receiving an email and it is attached in binary format. This is to confuse the users and entice them to click on the attachment.

The worm carries a double extension attachment. The first extension will be DOC, ELM, LOG or TXT and the second extension BAT, CMD, EXE, PIF or SCR. In some cases there may be lot of blank spaces in between the first and the second extension.
