This worm has backdoor capabilities. It opens various ports, allowing a remote user to perform malicious commands on the affected machine. The said routine provides remote users virtual control over affected systems, thus compromising system security.
Moreover, it prevents affected users from accessing several antivirus and security Web sites by modifying the HOSTS file. It also terminates several processes running in memory.
