Attachment: MShelp.EXE

Action

Being activated, the worm creates its copy named Mstray.exe in the Windows folder (in Windows 9x/ME/XP it’s C:\Windows, in Windows NT/2000 it’s C:\WINNT ) Mstray.exe and amends accordingly the following registry entry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
"RavTime" = "%WinDir%\Mstray.exe"
which secures its automatic execution at every Windows startup. The same value as above is added to the following registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup

The worm performs the following actions in the affected system:

  • It copies itself as winfile.exe to the floppy drive А.
  • It disables viewing of hidden and system files by modifying the registry entry
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advance
    Hidden=0
  • It displays the following message on the computer screen:
    Title: Warning!
    Text: This File Has Been Damage!
  • If a user through Explorer opens a window the title bar of which points to the same location the worm has copies itself to, the worm copies itself to another location as a randomly named file and deletes its copy from the previous location.
