More Information
W32/Anis-B is a worm for the Windows platform.
When first run W32/Anis-B copies itself to <Root>\pagefile.exe and creates the following files:
<User>\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Internet Explorer.lnk
<Desktop>\Internet Explorer.lnk
<User>\Start Menu\Internet Explorer.lnk
<Root>\autorun.inf
The following registry entry is set:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\NonEnum
{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}

W32/Anis-B attempts to periodically copy itself to removeable drives, including floppy drives and USB keys. The worm will attempt to create a hidden file Autorun.inf on the removeable drive and copy itself to the same location. The file Autorun.inf is designed to start the worm once the removeable drive is connected to a uninfected computer.
