Summary

This worm tries to propagate through MSN and Kazaa. It also launches a DDoS attack to pre-configured sites. The worm was programmed in Visual Basic.

Removal

Based on the settings of your F-Secure security product, it will either move the file to the quarantine where it cannot spread or cause harm, or remove it.

A False Positive is when a file is incorrectly detected as harmful, usually because its code or behavior resembles known harmful programs. A False Positive will usually be fixed in a subsequent database update without any action needed on your part. If you wish, you may also:

  • Check for the latest database updates

    First check if your F-Secure security program is using the latest updates, then try scanning the file again.

  • Submit a sample

    After checking, if you still believe the file is incorrectly detected, you can submit a sample of it for re-analysis.

    Note: If the file was moved to quarantine, you need to collect the file from quarantine before you can submit it.

  • Exclude a file from further scanning

    If you are certain that the file is safe and want to continue using it, you can exclude it from further scanning by the F-Secure security product.

    Note: You need administrative rights to change the settings.

Technical Details

It writes the following text to a file with random name and '.txt' extension.

W32.Supernova - Ban religion
---------------------------------------------------
Religion = War
Religion = Based on fairytales
Wars based on fairytales?
Ban religion, welcome to the truth
---------------------------------------------------

The worm deletes files from the user's computers, displaying the following messages:

0wned by the blasting star
Religion=war
Patch the leaks... Or the ship will sink....

It copies itself to the Windows directory under the following names:

Alles-ist-vorbei.exe
Desktop-shooting.exe
Hello-Kitty.exe
BigMac.exe
Cheese-Burger.exe
Blaargh.exe

And then sets the Registry key "Supernova" under:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

to point to any of the files.

It runs the following commands, in an attempt to direct a DDoS attack against those hosts.

ping www.islamicity.com -t
ping www.christianity.com -t
ping www.beliefnet.com -t

These commands won't generate enough traffic to be DDoS attack unless a high number of hosts (on the range of thousands) become infected by this worm.

When trying to spread through MSN it will present the users with the following massages:

Hehe, check this out :-)
