Anti-virus specialist Symantec  upgraded its alert on 
W32Badtrans.13312@mm to category 4 and advised users to 
download a new version of the fix dated April 11 or later.

W32Badtrans.13312@mm is a MAPI worm that spreads by replying 
to all unread messages in e-mail folders. The worm includes 
a Trojan horse program designed to steal information from 
the infected computer.

When W32Badtrans.13312@mm is executed, it copies two files 
into the Windows program folder (C:\Windows on Windows 9x 
and C:\Winnt on Windows NT/2000) -- Hkk32.exe and Inetd.exe, 
a spokesman said.

To ensure the viral code runs each time the system is 
restarted, W32Badtrans.13312@mm modifies the Win.ini file 
(Windows 9x systems) and system registry (Windows 9x and 
NT/2000 systems). For complete information and removal
