More Information
W32/Autorun-DH is a worm for the Windows platform.
W32/Autorun-DH spreads via removable drives by creating the file autorun.inf that is designed to run the worm when the drive is connected to an uninfected computer.
When first run W32/Autorun-DH copies itself to:
<Root>\Mixa_I.exe
<Windows>\Mixa.exe
<System>\systemio.exe
and creates the following files:
<Root>\Autorun.inf
<User>\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Index\wmplibrary_v_0_12.lrd
<System>\restart.scf
The files Autorun.inf and restart.scf are detected as W32/Autorun-DH. The lrd file is a data file.
The following registry entry is created to run Mixa.exe on startup:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Virus
<Windows>\Mixa.exe
The following registry entry is changed to run systemio.exe on startup:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
