More Information
W32/VB-CUA is a worm for the Windows platform.
W32/VB-CUA attempts to spread by coping itself to the available network drives.
When first run W32/VB-CUA copies itself to <System>\iexplore.exe and creates the file <Current Folder>\<variable>.txt. This file contains a message that suggests to use certain link "to search From Google.com" and should be deleted.
The following registry entries are created to run iexplore.exe on startup:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
rate.exe
<System>\IEXPLORE.exe

rate.exe
<System>\IEXPLORE.exe
