Propagation

It attempts to propagate by creating "\runauto..\autorun.pif" and "\autorun.inf" on all available drives, including removable drives.The autorun.inf file is detected as Worm.Win32.AutoRun.dms.The autorun.inf appears as:

• [AutoRun] open=RUNAUT~1\autorun.pif shell\1=´ò¿ª(&O) shell\1\Command=RUNAUT~1\autorun.pif shell\2\=ä¯ÀÀ(&B) shell\2\Command=RUNAUT~1\autorun.pif shellexecute=RUNAUT~1\autorun.pif

To make sure it will only run once, the mutex "Red_Server_2007" is created.
