WORM_MALDAL.I is an in-the-wild mass-mailing worm compiled using Visual Basic 5.0.
The worm uses Microsoft Outlook to propagate. The email it uses to propagate has
random pre-defined text in the subject field with no message body.

A few minutes after the worm has been executed, it displays a window that contains
the following text in a red and large size font:
ZaCker Is N YoUr MaChiNe

On subsequent reboots, after Windows loads, the system may lose resources because
several instances of the worm are being loaded in memory.
