Description: 

This malicious Visual Basic script (VBScript) file may be downloaded from remote sites by other malware. It may also be dropped by other malware.

Upon execution, It drops copies of itself. It then creates a registry entry to enable its automatic execution at every system startup. It also modifies a registry entry to hide files with both System and Read-only attributes.

This VBScript drops an AUTORUN.INF file to automatically execute dropped copies when affected drives are accessed.
