| Description | This Win32 worm spreads through a network by creating a folder, into which it drops a copy of itself using an interesting filename. It then shares this folder with full access, tempting unsuspecting users on the same network to obtain, and even execute, its malicious copy. This worm has backdoor capabilities, allowing remote users to access the machine it has installed on. It has a client component that remotely connects to its server counterpart on the compromised machine. |
