This mass-mailing worm propagates via email using MAPI and Microsoft Outlook, and installs backdoor programs on the infected user's computer. The email arrives with the subject line: "Nice Couple."

Solution:

1.) Scan your system with Trend Micro antivirus and delete all files detected as WORM_COUPLE.A, VBS_ COUPLE.A, TROJ_OPTIXKILL.A, and TROJ_SUB7.21B. To do this, Trend Micro customers must download the latest pattern file and scan their system. Other email users may use HouseCall, Trend Micro's free online virus scanner.

2.) More cleaning instructions on backdoor programs are available at the TROJ_OPTIXKILL.A page and the TROJ_SUB7.21B page.
