W32.Marijuana (W32.Mari) is a non-destructive worm with an agenda that will leave you dazed and confused. If you click on the attachment, Marijuana spreads to everyone listed in that user's Outlook address book. It will also change your default Internet Explorer page to a pro-marijuana Web site. At the moment, Marijuana is a low-threat.
How it works
Marijuana arrives as an email with the following information:
Subject: check this out!!!
Once installed, Marijuana sends copies of itself to all the address found in the infected computer's Outlook address book. The worm also puts a marijuana leaf icon on the system tray. If the infected user clicks on the icon, a pop-up dialog box displays with the following text:
I think i speak for every pot smoker in North America when i say: *Legalize Marijuana*...I mean if people with AIDS, Cancer and other deaises can use it then why cant the rest of us (pot smokers) use it?,I don't think that's very fair (Do you?). If it's legal to grow and use in places like: Australia (for personal use) then why not in North america? If doctors are useing it as a treament for illness then it must no be *THAT* harmful (So why can't other people use it?). I really do think the federal government should consider legalization of marijuana. Well that's really all i have to say on the matter, but i do hope somebody, somewhere listens to what i have to say and does not just regard this as just another *virus* because it's more than that, it's a message, a message for freedom, the freedom to smoke up and have the chose to do so *WITHOUT* fear of punishment from the law and the government. Thank you for your time.
Marijuana changes the default home page of Internet Explorer to a Web site promoting the legal use of marijuana, changes the Windows registration to "I'm a Pot Head," and the company to "Stoner's Pot Place."
Marijuana also triggers every afternoon at 4:20 with another dialog box that reads, "The Marijuana Virus!!" and includes the text, "It's 4:20, Time to toke up :)."
