Word is it is suppose to execute/self-destruct on Jan 28th. It usually arrives with the subject line "Hi" and "test : )" in the body text. Worm activates when the user clicks on the attached blah blah blah. Worm also attempts to install and backdoor on infected machine listening for activity on port 6777. That is all...
