This worm arrives on a system as a file dropped by other malware or as a file downloaded unknowingly by users when visiting malicious sites.

Installation

This worm creates the following folders:

  • %Application Data%\WINDOWS

(Note: %Application Data% is the current user's Application Data folder, which is usually C:\Documents and Settings\{user name}\Application Data on Windows 2000, XP, and Server 2003, or C:\Users\{user name}\AppData\Roaming on Windows Vista and 7.)

Autostart Technique

This worm adds the following registry entries to enable its automatic execution at every system startup:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\
Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
babon = "%Windows%\babon"

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\
Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
MSMSGS = "%Application Data%\WINDOWS\winlogon.exe"

Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
LogonWilbert = "%Application Data%\WINDOWS\csrss.exe"

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
System Monitoring = "%Application Data%\WINDOWS\lsass.exe"

It modifies the following registry entries to ensure it automatic execution at every system startup:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Shell = "Explorer.exe %System%\IExplorer.exe"

(Note: The default value data of the said registry entry is Explorer.exe.)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Userinit = "%System%\userinit.exe,%System%\IExplorer.exe"

(Note: The default value data of the said registry entry is %Windows%\system32\userinit.exe,.)
