1. 'ANNA' VIRUS HYPE DEFLATED
There's been a lot of buzz in the last day or so about the
'Anna Kournikova' virus that is just the latest worm to
spread across the Internet and cause trouble for people
along the way. We know of at least one large organization
that got caught and effectively lost a day's productivity
due to this virus.
As usual however, what scares us more than the virus (which
is actually nothing very new) is the self serving hype that
surrounds it. Otherwise sensible media outlets publish the
first unproven nonsense that is sent by the PR companies of
anti-virus makers. Those makers have a vested interest in
overstating the danger and spread of the virus. For an
analysis of the real spread of 'Anna' and the hype see Rob
Rosenbergers latest rant
http://vmyths.com/rant.cfm?id=302&page=4
Worse still, some of the recommendations for protection
come without any warnings of the downside. So we've
brought this issue out a little early to dispel some rumors
and warn you about the warnings.
We'll tell you what to look out for, not just for this
virus but for this type of nastie. We'll check out the
downside of some alleged protection measures and see why
this virus writer isn't very clever at all.
Most importantly we'll tell you the downside of the
protection measures being offered and offer an important
suggestion that's been surprisingly missing elsewhere.
Apologies in advance to regular WOWsers who'll get a sense
of deja vu reading this ... like we said there's little
that's new in this latest virus scare.

2. WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN ANNA AND HER FRIENDS
The 'Anna' virus itself isn't very sophisticated despite
the hype. It's based on a range of similar viruses in the
past, one intentional but dangerous default in Windows and
some knowledge of what makes people click (literally). The
'official' name for this virus is VBS_Kalamar.A also known
as VBS.Lee-o or VBS.OnTheFly .
An incoming infected message generated by the worm looks like this:
Subject: Here you have, ;o)
Or some variation on that title
Body: Hi: Check This!
Attachment: AnnaKournikova.jpg.vbs
If you click on the attachment (that seems to be a picture
to the unwary) then the virus will start mailing itself to
people and groups in your address book.
It also writes an entries to the registry
(HKEY_CURRENT_USER \software\OnTheFly and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\OnTheFly\mailed ) so it knows
that it has already run on that computer. On the 26th
January (co-incidentally Australia Day) it will try to
connect to a Dutch web site.
The virus continues to run in the background on the
computer, if you try to delete it, the virus will try to
re-create itself on your hard drive. An error in the virus
means this part doesn't work and you get a zero length file
instead.
There's no direct damage caused by the virus and no files
are erased, renamed or damaged. The trouble is likely to
be caused by the mass emailing which can overload a
corporate email system.
What makes this virus effective isn't any technical
ability, but its the marketing. Making the attachment look
like a harmless picture and a picture of a well-known and
attractive tennis player is the bit that made this virus
the center of attention for a day or so.
Ironically we're seeing virus writers follow the lead of
Microsoft. Like the company they love to hate, instead of
great technical innovations the virus makers are relying on
cleverer marketing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3. WHO IS ON THE HIT LIST
To be infected all you need is a computer that has Windows
Scripting Host (WSH) installed. That means Windows 98,
2000 or Windows ME.
Windows 95 and NT systems which have Internet Explorer 5.x
will most likely have WSH (it's part of the default
installation). WSH can also be downloaded from the
Microsoft web site and installed onto any Windows 95/NT
system.
If unsure then you should assume that any Windows 95, 98,
NT or 2000 machine can be infected and damaged.
Macintosh systems and other operating systems cannot be
infected but users could manually send the infected
attachment to others.

4. THE WINDOWS DOUBLE EXTENSION TRAP
Most people know that they need to be careful of email
attachments. They also know that pictures with file
endings like .gif and .jpg are safe - and they are.
Unfortunately the default settings of Windows allow the
unscrupulous to trick you.
When you install Windows (any version) it is designed to
hide the file extension of files. This is done in the name
of making Windows easier but it is something that we've
counseled against for many years. The 'Anna' is just the
latest example of why it is dangerous.
Let's say you get a file attachment called dagg.jpg.vbs
-- notice the twin periods (fullstops) ? Windows with
'hide file extensions for known file types' set on will
remove anything to the right of the last period from your
display. So the file name will appear to be ' dagg.jpg ' -
an apparently harmless picture.
If you unhide the file extension you'll see the full name '
dagg.jpg.vbs ' and know that you should be careful opening
this file (if you want to open it at all).
This isn't a new trick, we told you about it as part of our
coverage of the 'I Love You' virus in WOW #5.21
http://www.woodyswatch.com/office/archtemplate.asp?v5-n21.
In that case it appeared to be a text file, this time it's
a picture.
ESCAPING THE TRAP
To show the full file name open Windows Explorer and choose
Tools | Options | View and UNcheck the box 'Hide file
extensions for known file types'.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5. OTHER 'FIXES' TO WATCH OUT FOR
Sadly there's a knee-jerk reaction whenever there's a virus
scares. You'll see recommendations for protective measures
that, while effective, could also cause you more trouble.
OUTLOOK EMAIL SECURITY UPDATE
Yet again we've seen plenty of suggestions that people
install this update without any warning of the severe
restrictions this will put on your use of Outlook.
It is the equivalent of 'protecting' yourself from house
burglary by bricking up all the windows! It may deter
thieves but it'll also ruin your enjoyment of the house.
We have no problem with the Update for deployment in
corporate environments where you can't rely upon the good
sense and caution of every user. Network IT managers might
well consider installing this update.
But for users who make more use of email, attachments or
add-ons for Outlook then the Update is a disaster. If
you're a WOW reader then you're obviously higher up the
computer user evolutionary tree and so should be wary of
quick fixes from Microsoft.
For all the details, pro and con, for the Outlook Email
Security Update see WOW 5.27
http://www.woodyswatch.com/office/archtemplate.asp?v5-n27
which has all the details.
Note that the next version of Outlook (part of Office XP)
has all the Update 'features' included with no choice to
turn them off - it may be the single most compelling reason
NOT to upgrade.
TURN OFF WINDOWS SCRIPTING HOST
Certainly you can turn off the ability for Windows to run
VB Scripts via the Windows Scripting Host. You can do that
by following the directions here
http://chkpt.zdnet.com/chkpt/hud0007500a/www.zdnet.com/zdhelp/stories/main/0
,5594,2568111,00.html
But before you do so, be aware of the risks involved. WOW's
editor Peter Deegan has an article about this on ZDnet see
http://chkpt.zdnet.com/chkpt/hud0007500a/www.zdnet.com/zdhelp/stories/main/0
,5594,2573079,00.html
Avoid Attachments
This is the manual equivalent of installing the Outlook
Email Security Update described above. It's all well and
good to suggest avoiding attachments, but out here in the
real world email attachments are a necessary part of work.
That's why we don't recommend the Microsoft security patch,
for it is far too restrictive for many users.
As we've shown in the 'Windows File Extension Trap'
mentioned above, saying that pictures are OK is a trap for
the unwary. How many people saw the 'jpg' ending on the
'Anna' message and thought it was safe to open?
In the real world you need to be wary of all incoming
attachments, whether it is someone you know or not, whether
it is a file you're expecting or not. Unhide the file
extensions so you can see what an attachment is really
called, if in any doubt save the file to your hard drive
and scan it for viruses.
Update Your Anti-Virus Software
This has been recommended so many times that sadly people
ignore it. It's not 'new' and it's not a quick fix so it
is ignored. But having an up to date anti-virus software
package is your single best defense against viral nasties.
It doesn't really matter which of the major anti-virus
packages you use. For what it's worth, Peter has happily
used Norton Anti-virus http://www.symantec.com for years.
Other members of the WOW team are equally happy with F-prot
http://www.complex.is
The only problem in virus hype times is that the anti-virus
web sites get overloaded with requests for the latest
update. Not a lot you can do about that except be patient.
Getting regular updates can help since the incremental
patch in a situation like this may be smaller than for
someone who hasn't updated for many months.
AV companies love to boast that they were first with
detection for the latest virus, but it doesn't matter a
lot. It's nice for a bit of self-promotion, but the
reality is that the main anti-virus companies are usually
within hours (if not minutes) of each other in releasing
updates.
So get an anti-virus program, keep it updated and scan your
hard drive regularly.

6. THE REALLY BAD NEWS - NOT!
We've had a few questions already about this virus, the
main ones are from tennis fans wanting to know if there
really is a picture of Ms Kournikova in with the virus.
I'm afraid there isn't, but you can get all the pictures
you want at, where else, www.kournikova.com with pictures
at
http://www.athletesdirect.com/AthleteDirect/ad/groupa/ad_multimedia_photos.j
sp?ATH_ID=060006
!
Here they promise that the site is a 'Virus Free Zone'
where "The best Kournikova photos available without
trashing your hard drive... " which ignores the fact that
the virus doesn't damage your files at all. It goes onto
to 'explain' "How Anna Kournikova photos are destroying
the world's computers." Oh dear, perhaps Ms Kournikova's
webmasters should stick to adoring tennis players and leave
the virus hype alone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
7. VALENTINES DAY HEARTBREAK
If you saw an email message with the subject 'ILOVEYOU'
then you should be suspicious at the best of times, unless
you're an incurable romantic <g>.
But then again, tomorrow is Valentines Day and you may let
down your guard in the hope that the gorgeous guy/girl in
Accounts may declare their undying affection.
So the next few days are probably a good time to be extra
cautious of enticing attachments in case it is not a
Valentine at all.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
10. CAN'T FIND YOUR PICTURE IN WORD?
I get inquiries all the time from people who know
absolutely, positively, that they've put a picture in their
Word document - but they can't find it. Ends up that
there's a number of reasons why you might have a picture in
your document, but you might not be able to see it. Try
this.
Flip into Print Layout view (click View | Print Layout).
Make sure that you have Word set up to view drawings (Tools
| Options | View, check the "Drawings" box in the Print and
Web Layout options section). And make sure that you aren't
telling Word to show you picture placeholders (Tools |
Options | View, uncheck the "Picture placeholders" box in
the Show section).
That should bring the picture up on the screen. You may
have to scroll around a bit to find it, but if it exists,
the picture will show up. Once you have the picture, there
are several tricks to making it appear when you want it to.
If you're having trouble getting the picture to appear when
you print, or when you're in Print Preview (File | Print
Preview) mode, there are two possibilities. First, make
sure that you're not printing in Draft mode (Tools |
Options | Print, uncheck "Draft output" under Printing
options). Then, make sure you're telling Word to print
pictures (Tools | Options | Print, check "Drawing objects"
in the Include with document section.)
If you're having trouble getting the picture to appear in
Normal view (View | Normal), well, Word isn't supposed to
show the picture in Normal view! Good reason, eh? Normal
view is designed to be fast and uncluttered - although on
most machines it isn't that much faster or less cluttered
than Print Layout view. (Which is why I recommend that
people work in Print Layout view all the time, unless they
need to see style names, or they're playing with section
breaks - which are a bear in Print Layout view.)
Anyway, if you absolutely have to see your picture in
Normal view, you can tell Word to format the picture
"Inline with text". That means the picture behaves just
like a character in your document: you can't click and drag
it to move it around; you have to use character and
paragraph formatting to position it. When you originally
insert a picture into a document (in Word 2000), it comes
in formatted "Inline with text." You have to go in and
change the formatting to make it float.
To make a floating picture "Inline with text," follow the
instructions above to make it appear on screen, right-click
on it, pick Format Picture | Layout, and click the box
marked Inline with text. Click OK, and your picture will no
longer float - and it will be visible in Normal view.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
11. MAKE YOUR PICTURE FLOAT
That reminds me... a lot of you also have trouble figuring
out how to make your "Inline with text" pictures float. You
want to be able to click and drag the picture around, and
position it wherever you like on a page, even if there's no
text nearby.
It's easy. First go into Print Layout view (click View |
Print Layout). I recommend that you do this as a first step
'cuz it's, uh, disconcerting to see your picture disappear
- and your picture *will* disappear if you make it float
while in Normal view.
Next, right-click on the picture and pick Format Picture.
On the Layout tab, pick any Wrapping style other than
"Inline with text."
That's the easy way: Word goes in and makes the picture
float. In fact, the setting that controls "floatation" is
on the Format Picture dialog box, under the "Advanced"
button. Pick any Wrapping style other than "Inline with
text," click that Advanced button, navigate to the Picture
Position tab, and check or uncheck the box marked "Move
object with text." That's the box in charge of
floatability.
