W32.Netsky.C is a mass-mailing worm that uses its own SMTP engine to send itself to the email addresses it finds when scanning hard drives and mapped drives. This worm also searches drives C through Y for the folder names containing "Shar" and then copies itself to those folders.

The Subject, Body, and email attachment vary.

watch out guys, this one seems like a real pain
