W32/Mimail is a family of mass-mailing and network worms. The variants target several versions of Microsoft Windows. Some Mimail variants spread through email attachments. Some target PCs that do not have Microsoft Security Bulletins MS02-015 and MS03-014 installed.  Some variants spread through peer-to-peer networks. Some variants gather and transmit user account numbers and passwords. Some variants launch denial of service (DoS) attacks against certain Web sites.
