This worm Creates 40 .zip files in the %Windir% folder, which contain copies of the worm. The names of these files match the Attachment Names above.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Technical Details:

Creates a mutex named "AdmSkynetJKIS003." This mutex allows only one instance of the worm to execute.

May display a dialog box with the text:

The file could not be opened!

Copies itself as %Windir%\services.exe.

*Note: %Windir% is a variable. The worm locates the Windows installation folder (by default, this is C:\Windows or C:\Winnt) and copies itself to that location.

Adds the value:

"service" = "%Windir%\services.exe -serv"
to the registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
so that the worm runs when you start Windows.
Deletes the values:

"Taskmon"
"Explorer"
from the registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
Deletes the values:
"KasperskyAV"
"System."
from the registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Deletes the registry key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{E6FB5E20-DE35-11CF-9C87-00AA005127ED}\InProcServer32
Mcafee definitions files 4325
Symantec definition files dated: February 18th

Time to make virus creation a capital offense.  Next, for a "black" unit of elites missioned to travel the country and the world silently but permanently terminating the virus writers.  

Sounds like a good movie to me, too bad it isnt happening in real life yet (that I know of).   :)
