The backdoor Trojan component will connect to an IRC server and join a channel where it will wait for commands issued by an attacker using that IRC channel. The commands will be interpreted by the server into actions to carry out on the host computer.

When first executed the worm will copy itself to the file C:\Windows\System\winsys.exe.

The following registry entries will be created to start the worm when Windows starts up:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Configuration Loader
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
RunServices\Configuration Loader
