Spreading function

The worm spreads by creating an AUTORUN.INF file to the root of each drive with the malicious .dll file. The contents of the file are as follows:

[autorun] open= shell\open=Explore shell\open\Command=rundll32.exe .\\[RANDOM].dll,InstallM shell\open\Default=1

Note: [RANDOM] represents a random name that the worm creates for the dll. If the malware detects a new partition, or usb stick for example, it will get infected immediately. The registry keys are used to make sure that the malware gets launched when the computer starts.
