<Windows>\security\services.exe (detected as W32/SillyFDC-CD)
<Windows>\setupconfig.dat (harmless data file, can be deleted)

The following registry entry is created to run W32/SillyFDC-CD on startup:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

<Windows>\security\services.exe

Once running W32/SillyFDC-CD may also copy itself to removable drives, along with an autorun file, so the copy is executed when the drive is inserted into a computer.
