More Information

W32/Lovgate-N is functionally similar to W32/Lovgate-J except that this variant of the virus copies itself to the Windows system folder as WINEXE.EXE and changes the entry in the registry at:

HKCR\exefile\shell\open\command

so that it is run before an EXE file.

Please refer to W32/Lovgate-J for more information.
