It primarily infects Windows 98 systems, though it may also infect Windows 95 if the file MSVBVM50.DLL is present.
    It is a password stealer designed to attack America Online client software to determine user account passwords. It will then attempt to send the stolen information to the author of the trojan.
    It has been distributed as an attachment to an email with the subject line "hey you." The attachment has been widely reported with the name "MINE.EXE."
    Important: If your system has been infected with APStrojan.qa, AFTER removing the trojan, be sure to choose a new password for your AOL account!

   Note: Some people are getting confused between this Trojan horse and the Hey You virus hoax.
   This is a memory resident AOL password stealing Trojan that installs itself in \windows\system\mine.exe, \windows\uninstallms.exe and \msdos98.exe.
   It also writes a file \windows\system\readme.txt containing the text:
   "Did you like it? Write Back ok?".
   While resident in memory the Trojan interferes with Winzip, and sometimes doesn't let regedit run. It also can make Windows fail to shut down.
   This Trojan has been seen attached to an email with the subject line "hey you" and the text:
   hey i finally got my pics scanned..theres like 5 or 6 of them..so just download it and unzip it..and for you people who dont know how to then scroll down..tell me what you think of my pics ok?
