This worm was first published on some virus distribution sites before 10th of January 2000. Several days later it was found in the wild in several countries.
    The worm itself is a PE executable 102400 bytes long. The worm has a WinZip icon pretending to be a self-extracting ZIP archive.
    It arrives as an e-mail attachment and being run installs itself to system as INETD.EXE to root Windows folder.
    The worm then modifies WIN.INI file and Registry to be run during every Windows sessions.
    Being active in memory the worm communicates with MAPI-compatible e-mail browsers, looking for unanswered messages and replies to them itself.
    The worm's reply message looks like an ordinary autoreply that many people use while they can't read their e-mails:
P2000 Mail auto-reply:
' I'll try to reply as soon as possible.
Take a look to the attachment and send me your opinion! '
> Get your FREE P2000 Mail now! <
    The worm's body is always attached to the message. The file name of the attachment is randomly selected by the worm from the following variants:

pics.exe        images.exe
joke.exe        PsPGame.exe
news_doc.exe    hamster.exe
tamagotxi.exe   searchURL.exe
SETUP.EXE       Card.EXE
billgt.exe      midsong.exe
s3msong.exe     docs.exe
humor.exe       fun.exe

    When a recepient gets this message and clicks on the attachment (which, he thinks is a ZIP archive) the worm infects his system.
    First the worm outputs a WinZip Self-Extractor Look like dialog
    When a user clicks on 'Unzip' or 'Run WinZip' buttons the worm displays a fake error message and installs itself to system.
    If 'Close' button is clicked the worm installs itself to system and exits without displaying anything. If any other button is clicked a standard Windows error message is displayed and the worm installs itself to system as well.
    Being active the worm checks date and time and on Wednesdays after midnight it tries to display a dialog with a picture and the following text:
Fight against the plage of inhumanity.
This is Plage 2000 coded by Bumblebee/29a.
    The worm doesn't have any destructive payload. But as it spreads itself with a trustworthy message so it may become widespread quickly.
