F-Secure Virus Descriptions : Led

NAME:	Led
ALIAS:	Fagled, I-Worm.Fagled, W32/Fagled@MM

Fagled is an e-mail worm that beside a normal way of spreading from Outlook uses a new one - spreading from its own webserver that it opens on an infected computer. The worm is written in Visual Basic and first appeared on January 22nd, 2002.

The worm usually comes in e-mails with different subject and bodies and LED.EXE attachment. When a user clicks an attachment, the worm is activated. Additionally, the worm sends messages to IRC channels and MSN Messenger contacts of an infected user with a link that points to a webpage where the worm's executable is located.

When the worm is run from LED.EXE attachment the worm does the following:

-*- Installs itself to system by copying its file to C:\Windows\ directory with LED.EXE name.

-*- Modifies Registry to start LED.EXE file every time Windows starts.

-*- Scans user's hard disk. Fetches e-mail addresses from .DBX, .MBX, .IDX files.

-*- Opens all .VBS files it can find on a hard disk.

-*- Deletes files from folders with the following names:

	norton
	zonelab
	zonealarm
	tbav
	atguard
	shopio
	mcafee
	mcaffee
	bloodhaunt
	kiddie
	teen

-*- Opens a webserver on port 80 of an infected computer and waits for connections. The worm looks for HTM and HTML files and if finds DEFAULT.HTML or INDEX.HTML, it replaces them with their own file that contains a fake warning message and also copies itself as IENET.EXE into the same folder. When someone connects to a webserver, the worm displays a fake warning message:

	Plugin missing
	Your browser is missing a plugin that is required to by this webpage
	to view its content, you can download this plugin <here>

The <here> string points to http link to IENET.EXE file (which is the worm's copy) on a user's hard disk. When a connected user downloads and runs this file, his system becomes infected.

-*- Replaces SCRIPT.INI of Mirc client with its own one that will repeatedly send messages to users (except Ops) in an IRC channel where an infected user is present. The message will be like that:

	I want you....HARD, http://<link>

The <link> will contain a path to a webserver that the worm opens on an infected computer.

The worm does some other tricks with IRC like joining/opening its own channels, sending notices and private messages and sometimes auto-replying to them.

-*- Sends the following messages to all contacts of user's MSN messenger:

	PLEASE GO AS FAST AS POSSIBLE TO http://<link>
	 , I have NO time to explain but DO IT!

The <link> will contain a path to a webserver that the worm opens on an infected computer.

-*- The worm connects to Outlook and sends itself (usually as LED.EXE) to all e-mail addresses it located on an infected system. The infected messages can contain one of the following:

	Subject:	urgent!! you sent me a virus
	Body:	Hi, I just received a email from you containing the W32/resudaB virus.
                It looks like your computer is infected with this dangerious virus,

-*- The worm sends itself with the following e-mail to 'webmaster@islam.com' and to 'master**@hotmail.com' ('**' is a random number) e-mail addresses:

	Subject:	(_|_)
	Body:	Christianzzz rule

-*- The worm keeps a log of its activities in C:\xirtaM.txt file. The log file has the following header:

	W32/LED alias W32/Matrix --Log File--
	Today is a good day to fire your admin

        [The only AV vendor that receives respect is xxxxx, f*ck xxxxx and xxxxx
        commercial fags.]

	Greetz to the coders of nimdA, Code Red, BadTrans and Magistr.

The 'xxxxx' are the names of anti-virus vendors.

To get rid of the worm it's enough to delete its file from Windows folder. If a file is locked by WIndows, it is recommended to delete it from pure DOS (in case of Windows 9x system) or rename with a different name and extension with immediate system restart (in case of NT-based system).

F-Secure Anti-Virus detects Fagled worm with the updates published on 23rd of January 2002.
