This variant is extremely close to the latest NetSky variants. It
shares up to approximately 86% of the code and features in
common with NetSky.U.
Netsky.X sends messages in several different languages: English,
Swedish, Finnish, Polish, Norwegian, Portuguese, Italian, French,
German and possibly the language of some small island called
Turks and Caicos, located in the Atlantic ocean. In many cases
the messages are composed incorrectly suggesting that the worm's
author did not ask native speakers for translation or used an
on-line translation service like Babel Fish.
Update on April 23rd, 2004
It looks like the Netsky's author mistyped the domain suffix for
Turkey - he put '.tc' instead of '.tr'. We came to that
conclusion after verifying that the text that is sent to
addresses in .tc domain is in Turkish (word by word translation
from dictionary).

If any file with the following extensions is found, the worm
opens it and searches for e-mail addresses there:
