This virus comes by e-mail, spoofing the sender address, and is packed with MEW, an executable file compressor. Once executed, the worm does the following: 1. Creates the mutex, in order to have only one instance of itself running in memory: H-3-1-1-B-0-T-3-F-1-X-3 2. Copies itself as %SYSTEM%\Lien Van de Kelder.exe 3. Creates/modifies the following registry keys: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "http://www.lienvandekelder.be" = "%SYSTEM%\Lien Van de Kelder.exe" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices] "http://www.lienvandekelder.be" = "%SYSTEM%\\Lien Van de Kelder.exe" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess] "Start" = "4" 4. Starts harvesting e-mail addresses, searchin in folder "Temporary Internet Files", the current outlook e-mail account files, and from files matching .txt .htm .sht .jsp .cgi .xml .php .asp .dbx .tbb .adb .pl .wab searching in drives C: to Y: it avoids certain e-mail addresses, by comparing the address with an internal list of substrings. 5.
