Behaviour	Description
WormAutorun	A worm can spread via removable drives. It writes its executable and creates "autorun.inf" scripts on all removable drives. The autorun script will execute the Trojan's file once a user opens a drive's folder in Windows Explorer.

Process activity

The Trojan creates the following process(es):

%original file name%.exe:1724
AppLaunch.exe:1140
AppLaunch.exe:384
authz.exe:1184

The Trojan injects its code into the following process(es):

BioCredProv.exe:524
authz.exe:440

Mutexes

The following mutexes were created/opened:No objects were found.

File activity

The process %original file name%.exe:1724 makes changes in the file system.

The Trojan creates and/or writes to the following file(s):
