More Information

W32/Lovgate-P is a version of W32/Lovgate-L which has been infected with W32/Parite-A and then packed with a compression tool.

W32/Lovgate-P is functionally identical to W32/Lovgate-L. The W32/Parite-A infection is neutralised by the compression.

When the worm is run the W32/Parite-A component will generate a Windows error similar to:

The application or DLL <filename> is not a valid Windows image. Please check against your installation diskette.

The exact error message displayed will vary slightly depending on the version of Microsoft Windows.
