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):

AppLaunch.exe:212
AppLaunch.exe:1108

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

%original file name%.exe:704
sppnp.exe:1484
THEMECPL.exe:1524

Mutexes

The following mutexes were created/opened:

ZonesLockedCacheCounterMutexZonesCacheCounterMutexZonesCounterMutexShimCacheMutex

File activity

The process %original file name%.exe:704 makes changes in the file system.

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

%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Templates\THEMECPL.exe (11 bytes)
%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Local Settings\Temp\sppnp.exe (3073 bytes)

The process AppLaunch.exe:1108 makes changes in the file system.

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

%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\WAVE.exe (59 bytes)
%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\35g35h54hteg34g (33 bytes)
