When executed, the worm copies itself as the following files:
- %SystemDrive%\I Love You.exe
- %SystemDrive%\New Text Document.exe
- %SystemDrive%\Read Me.exe
- %SystemDrive%\Read This Please.exe
- %SystemDrive%\Read This.exe
- %SystemDrive%\ReadMe.exe
- %SystemDrive%\[REMOVED] Rules.exe
- %Windir%\W32dllcache\ReadMe.exe
It then creates the following files:
- %Windir%\W32dllcache\ccIsass.exe
- %Windir%\W32dllcache\ccsrss.exe
It then creates the following registry entries so that it runs every time Windows
starts:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\”winlogin” = “%Windir%\W32dllcache\ReadMe.exe”
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\”winlogon_user” = “%Windir%\W32dllcache\ccIsass.exe”
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\”winprotection” = “%Windir%\W32dllcache\ccsrss.exe”
- HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices\”Firewall config” = “%Windir%\W32dllcache\ReadMe.exe”
It then creates the following registry entries to disable certain system software:
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\”DisableTaskMgr” = “1″
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system\”DisableTaskMgr” = “1″
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsNT\SystemRestore\”DisableConfig” = “1″

- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer\”LimitSystemRestoreCheckpointing” = “1″
- HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\”DisableTaskMgr” = “1″
Next, the worm creates the following registry entries to alter Internet Explorer settings:
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\”Show_URLToolBar” = “yes”
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\”Show_URLinStatusBar” = “yes”
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\”Window Title” = “Computer hacked by the [REMOVED]“
It then creates the following registry entries in order to hide its presence:
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\”Hidden” = “1″
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\”ShowSuperHidden” = “1″
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\”HideFileExt” = “1″
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL\”CheckedValue” = “1″
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL\”DefaultValue” = “2″
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL\”Text” = “Do not
Display System path and commands”
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL\”WarningIfNot
Default” = “[REMOVED] rules the world”
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\HideFileExt\”Text” = “Do not display
full path in System Information”
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\HideFileExt\”Type” = “radio”
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\SuperHidden\”CheckedValue” = “1″
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\SuperHidden\”Text” = “Hide system
hidden files(Recommended) hacked by [REMOVED]“
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\SuperHidden\”WarningIfNotDefault”
= “[REMOVED] is in the system!”
- HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\”Hidden” = “0″
- HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\”ShowSuperHidden” = “0″
It then creates the following registry entries to alter Explorer settings:
It then creates the following registry entries to alter behavior when certain files are
accessed or executed:
- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VBSFile\Shell\Open\Command\”(Default)” =”%SystemRoot%\System32\WScript.exe \”%1\” %*”
- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMVFile\shell\open\command\”(Default)” =”\”%ProgramFiles%\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe\” \prefetch:7
\Open \”%L\”"
- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\batfile\shell\open\command\”(Default)” = “\”%1\” %*”
- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\cmdfile\shell\open\command\”(Default)” = “\”%1\” %*”
- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mp3file\shell\open\command\”(Default)” = “\”%ProgramFiles%\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe\” \prefetch:6 \
Open \”%L\”"
- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\scrfile\shell\open\command\”(Default)” = “\”%1\” \S”
- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\wmafile\shell\open\command\”(Default)” = “\”%ProgramFiles%\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe\” \prefetch:5 \
Open \”%L\”"
The worm creates the following registry entries:
- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\[REMOVED]\command\”(Default)” = “%Windir%\W32dllcache\ReadMe.exe”
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsScript Host\Settings\”Enabled” = “0″
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer\”DiasableMSI” = “1″
It then modifies the following registry entries:
- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AVIFile\shell\play\command\”(Default)”= “\”%ProgramFiles%\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe\” \prefetch:
8 \Play \”%L\”"
- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\batfile\DefaultIcon\”(Default)” = “%SystemRoot%\System32\shell32.dll,-153″
- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\batfile\shell\edit\command\”(Default)” = “%SystemRoot%\System32\NOTEPAD.EXE %1″
- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\batfile\shell\print\command\”(Default)” = “%SystemRoot%\System32\NOTEPAD.EXE \p %1″
- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\regfile\DefaultIcon\”(Default)” = “%SystemRoot%\regedit.exe,1″
- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\regfile\shell\edit\command\”(Default)” =”%SystemRoot%\system32\NOTEPAD.EXE %1″
- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\regfile\shell\print\command\”(Default)” =”%SystemRoot%\system32\NOTEPAD.EXE \p %1″
It may then display the following message:
Title: Fool Confirmation
Body: You are a fool. Press OK if you are!
Next, the worm copies itself to all network drives as the following files:
- %DriveLetter%\I Love You.exe
- %DriveLetter%\New Text Document.exe
- %DriveLetter%\Read Me.exe
- %DriveLetter%\Read This Please.exe
- %DriveLetter%\Read This.exe
- %DriveLetter%\ReadMe.exe
- %DriveLetter%\[REMOVED] Rules.exe
It then copies itself to all removable drives as the following files:
- %DriveLetter%\I Love You.exe
- %DriveLetter%\New Text Document.exe
- %DriveLetter%\Read Me.exe
- %DriveLetter%\Read This Please.exe
- %DriveLetter%\Read This.exe
- %DriveLetter%\ReadMe.exe
- %DriveLetter%\[REMOVED] Rules.exe
It then creates the following file so that it runs when the above drives are
accessed:
%DriveLetter%\autorun.inf |
