This worm variant sends out a bit different ZIP archive in e-mails. The ZIP archive contains an HTML file named FOTO.HTM and the Glieder.I trojan dropper named CALC.EXE, which is located in a subfolder named '1' in the same archive. Both the executable file and the subfolder have hidden attributes. The HTML file uses an exploit to activate the dropper. The Glieder.I dropper drops another component, which is a downloader for Bagle.AO worm's file. The worm's file was put by its author as B.JPG to several websites.
