Description: 

Upon execution, this memory-resident worm drops a copy of itself in the Windows system folder as YUJIXIT.EXE. It then creates registry entries to enable its automatic execution at every system startup.

It propagates across networks by dropping a copy of itself into accessible network shares. If a share is not readily accessible, it uses a list of user names and passwords to log on to the target share.

This worm also has backdoor capabilities. It opens random ports, allowing a remote user to access and perform malicious commands on an affected machine. The said routine provides remote users virtual control over affected systems, thus compromising system security.
