Creates and executes the following:
  • %APPDATA%\npad.exe
  • %APPDATA%\printer.exe
Executes the following:
  • <SYSTEM32>\cmd.exe /c %TEMP%\2.bat
  • <SYSTEM32>\cmd.exe /c %TEMP%\1.bat
Modifies settings of Windows Explorer:
  • [<HKCU>\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] 'NoControlPanel' = '00000001'
Modifies file system :
