Features
Startup
Startup allows wanna-be virus authors to chose whether or not the worm should start with the launch of Windows and under what name the worm should install itself under the system registry.
Email
Email allows virus writers to use Outlook to distribute their creation. This option exists to send the worm as an attachment, or within the code of an HTML-enhanced email. A box exists to create a catchy subject for the email. A larger text box allows for whatever body text should accompany the worm.
Figure B: The VBS Worms Generator's e-mail capabilities have been expanded in Version 2.
IRC
Another popular method of worm distribution is through IRC chats. Microsoft's IRC (mIRC) is a popular target.
Infect
Infect controls which files should be infected with the worm. The most popular choices of late have been .vbs and .vbe files since these scripts will execute automatically on Windows machines with Windows Scripting Host enabled once the infected user clicks on them.
