A bot communicates with command and control servers via IRC channel.This program can launch a proxy server (SOCKS4) on a designated TCP port.A program blocks designated DNS servers for making it difficult for users to locate specific domains or web sites on the Internet.This program can make a UDP flood. A UDP flood attack is a denial-of-service attack using the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). It can be initiated by sending a large number of UDP packets to random ports on a remote host.This program can make a SYN flood. It is a form of denial-of-service attack in which an attacker sends a succession of SYN requests to a target's system in an attempt to consume enough server resources to make the system unresponsive to legitimate traffic.

Propagation

A worm spreads via removable drives. It writes its executable and creates "autorun.inf" scripts on all removable drives. The autorun script will execute the Worm's file once a user opens a drive's folder in Windows Explorer.A program registers a device notification with the help of RegisterDeviceNotification so it is notified when a USB device is plugged and then the worm copies itself to the USB device plugged into the affected computer.A worm spreads its copies through the MSN Messanger.

    [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
    "Screen Saver Pro 3.1" = "%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\ScreenSaverPro.scr"

    [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
    "Xukmkj" = "%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\Microsoft\Xukmkj.exe"

    [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
    "Iukmku" = "%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\Microsoft\Iukmku.exe"

  6. Remove the references to the Worm by modifying the following registry value(s) (How to Work with System Registry):

    [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
