> The virus was first distributed on at least one newsgroup

> connection, it attempts to connect to a Web site hosted 
> by a virus authoring group, and if successful, it downloads 
> additional components of the complete virus to the host PC. 
> 
> If the virus detects mIRC installed on the host PC, it will 
> attempt to send a copy of itself through Internet IRC 
> channels, as a file called "2KBug-MircFix.exe". The virus 
> also sends an email notification to the address 
> babylonia_counter@hotmail.com, with the "from" information
