Description: 

This worm spreads via network shares. To propagate, it searches for and lists down available network shares, where it drops a copy of itself.

It may also exploit a known Windows vulnerability known as LSASS vulnerability. This exploit is a buffer overrun that allows remote code execution and enables a malicious user to gain full control of affected systems. This vulnerability is discussed in detail in Microsoft Bulletin MS04-011 and Trend Micro's Vulnerability Description for MS04-011.

It has backdoor functionalities. It connects to an IRC server and acts as an IRC bot. It therefore enables a remote malicious user to execute commands locally on affected machines.

It runs on Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, and XP.
