More Information

W32/Sachiel-D is a worm that spreads by copying itself to other drives.

W32/Sachiel-D copies itself to the Windows\System folder as Helpdks.dll and Winrun.sys.pif and to the Windows\Help folder as Sachiel.sys.bat.

The following registry entries are created which automatically execute Winrun.sys.pif and Sachiel.sys.bat on startup:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Mmsystem HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Thsys

W32/Sachiel-D deletes Regedit.exe, Msconfig.exe and Sfc.exe from the Windows and Windows\System folders.
