  • %System Root%\DOCUME~1
  • %System Root%\DOCUME~1\Wilbert
  • %User Profile%\LOCALS~1
  • %User Temp%\nsg2.tmp
  • %Program Files%\WizSearch
  • %User Temp%\nsx4.tmp
  • %User Temp%\nsb6.tmp
  • %Program Files%\WizPop
  • %User Temp%\nsr8.tmp

(Note: %System Root% is the root folder, which is usually C:\. It is also where the operating system is located.. %User Profile% is the current user's profile folder, which is usually C:\Windows\Profiles\{user name} on Windows 98 and ME, C:\WINNT\Profiles\{user name} on Windows NT, and C:\Documents and Settings\{user name} on Windows 2000, XP, and Server 2003.. %User Temp% is the current user's Temp folder, which is usually C:\Documents and Settings\{user name}\Local Settings\Temp on Windows 2000, XP, and Server 2003.. %Program Files% is the default Program Files folder, usually C:\Program Files.)

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\
Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
WizPop = "%Program Files%\WizPop\WizPop.exe"

It registers itself as a BHO to ensure its automatic execution every time Internet Explorer is used by adding the following registry keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\
Browser Helper Objects\{4B015E18-FD94-4c2c-9CD2-664830506274}
