VBS.Cuerpo.A@mm is a mass-mailing Visual Basic Script (VBS) virus/worm. It is polymorphic in structure and sends itself using Microsoft Outlook. It is embedded in an HTML email message. If the HTML file is opened, and allowed to run, it drops a .bat file that causes the worm to spread.

NOTE: Some email systems will convert an HTML message to an attachment. Opening the attachment will have the same result.
