Installation
Upon execution, the virus drops a copy of itself with a random name to the Windows and Windows System directories:
- %temp%\[random].bat
- %windir%\[random].scr
- %windir%\system32\[random].com
It also drops the following files, which are copies of the virus:
- %userprofile%\My Documents\My Music.exe
- %userprofile%\My Documents\My Pictures.exe
The malware uses a folder icon for its executable file, it drops a copy of itself using the name of all existing folders into the root directory of all drives in an infected machine and then it hides the original folders by adjusting their attributes. So, this malware pretends to be a valid folder on a hard drive.
