More Information

W32/SillyFDC-BK is a worm for the Windows platform.

When run W32/SillyFDC-BK copies itself to <Windows>\krag.exe and sets the following registry entry to run itself on startup:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
krag
<Windows>\krag.exe

W32/SillyFDC-BK spreads via removable shared drives by copying itself to <Root>\krage.exe and creating the file <Root>\autorun.inf (detected as W32/Agent-FOW). The file <Root>\autorun.inf is designed to run the worm when the removable drive is connected to an uninfected computer.
