When first run W32/Vanebot-J copies itself to <System>\glossary.exe.

The following registry entries are created to run glossary.exe on startup:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
RBot v2 with NetAPI exploit traded with billgates I gave my mother Greetz - OG - Bluehell Irc Server
<System>\glossary.exe

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
RBot v2 with NetAPI exploit traded with billgates I gave my mother Greetz - OG - Bluehell Irc Server
<System>\glossary.exe

The following registry entries are changed to run glossary.exe on startup:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Shell
Explorer.exe <System>\glossary.exe

(the default value for this registry entry is "Explorer.exe" which causes the Microsoft file <Windows>\Explorer.exe to be run on startup).

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Userinit
<System>\userinit.exe,<System>\glossary.exe

(the default value for this registry entry is "<Windows>\System32\userinit.exe,").

W32/Vanebot-J sets the following registry entries, disabling the automatic startup of other software:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wuauserv
Start

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess
Start
4

Note: disabling autostart for the SharedAccess service deactivates the Microsoft Internet Connection Firewall (ICF).

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Ole
EnableDCOM
N

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
