[esa-l] Status update: Bubbleboy

[John D. Hardin]

Bubbleboy isn't that interesting; it's an embedded VBScript script
that makes use of a hole in an ActiveX control to write another
VBScript script into the user's startup folder. The sanitizer defangs
it effectively, preventing execution.

Bubbleboy source code is available via:

   http://www.virusexchange.org/tally/author.html

which has a link to the website of the author, "Zulu".
