Diagnosis

When executed, the worm launches an AppleScript which opens a copy of Outlook Express or Entourage in the background and sends a copy of the script and message to everyone in the user's address book.

To remove the virus boot the Mac with the shift key held down to prevent the virus from launching. Then delete the virus from the Startup Items folder and restart.
