Kamadina

ALIAS:Worm.P2P.Kamadina

Summary

Kamadina is one of the smallest P2P (peer-to-peer) worms. Its size is only 1.5 kilobytes. When the worm is run, it copies itself to shared folders of several file sharing clients: Kazaa, Limewire, Grokster, Bearshare, Edonkey, Morpheus and a few others. The worm also copies itself to ICQ share files folder. The worm does this only on Spanish installation of Windows.

Additionally the worm copies itself to 'My Music', 'My Downloads' and 'My Documents\My Music' subfolders if they are located in '\Archivos de programa' folder.

Additional Details

The worm copies itself with the same name as the name of the file it was started from. So far we received reports that the worm's file name is:

MySQL-checker.exe

The worm doesn't stay in Windows memory and exits as soon as it copies itself to all the above mentioned folders.
