Malware Overview

This worm employs a unique way of affecting systems. Upon execution, it searches for Real Media Player (.RM, .RMVB) files in all physical drives, including floppy drives. It then inserts a URL in found target files, enabling it to load a Web page where a malicious JavaScript is hosted.

Once the said Web page is accessed, the JavaScript, detected by Trend Micro as JS_DLOADER.HHZ, accesses another Web page to download a file, quite possibly a copy of this worm. However, the said Web site is inaccessible as of this writing.

This worm may arrive as a file downloaded from the Internet.
