More Information

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

When run W32/SillyFDC-BA copies itself to <System>\avpo.exe and creates the following files:

<Temp>\cda4h.dll
<System>\avpo0.dll
<System>\avpo1.dll

These 3 files are also detected as W32/SillyFDC-BA.

The following registry entry is set to run the worm on startup:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
avpa
<System>\avpo.exe

W32/SillyFDC-BA also registers itself as a service with a random name to run automatically on system logon.

The following registry entries are set:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
Hidden
2

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
ShowSuperHidden
0

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL
CheckedValue
0

W32/SillyFDC-BA spreads via removable shared drives by copying itself to the shared drive as <Root>\ntde1ect.com. W32/SillyFDC-BA then creates the file <Root>\autorun.inf (also detected as W32/SillyFDC-BA) on that drive to allow the worm to run when the removable shared drive is connected to an uninfected computer.
