W32/Anzae-C is a Spanish mass-mailing worm.
When first run the worm copies itself to the Windows system folder with the names svchosl.pif and paula.pif.
The worm then drops four more files called ss.exe, sw.exe, sx.exe and sz.exe. Ss.exe is a joke program. Sz.exe is a simple ZIP program that is non- malicious. Sx.exe and sw.exe are components of the mailing worm. Sophos's anti-virus products detect the sx.exe component as W32/Anzae-B.
W32/Anzae-C spreads by sending the ZIP file it has created as an email attachment. The email message has characteristics chosen from the following lists:
Subject line:
FW:Impresiona!!!!
FW:Pero si es cierto!!!
FW:Miralo!!!!
FW:Venga que lo disfrutes ;) jajaja
FW:Podr
FW:El amor,el amor,jajaja
FW:Como el aire...xD
