Characteristics
W32/Crasher is a virus that infects all the files in the system.
Upon execution, it attempts to modify all the files(including .sys, .exe, .dll, .htm, .jpg, .ini, etc) in the system by replacing the first 1099 bytes of these files with some junk codes, until the system becomes crash.
The infected files cannot be repaired.
Symptoms

Method of Infection
Trojans do not self-replicate. They spread manually, often under the premise that the executable is something beneficial. Trojans may also be received as a result of poor security practices, or un-patched machines and vulnerable systems. Distribution channels include IRC, peer-to-peer networks, email, newsgroups postings, etc.
