  • Creates its own copy with svshost.exe filename in system folder (C:\%WinDir%\SYSTEM32 for Windows NT/2000/XP, C:\%WinDir%\SYSTEM for Windows 9x/Me).
  • To provide its own run after rebooting Windows, virus registers itself on the following registry path::
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
    Microsoft = "C:\WINDOWS\System32\svshost.exe"
  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\command
    @= "C:\WINDOWS\System32\svshost.exe "%1" %*"

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL
