This sample can be identified by the following symptoms.
System Changes
These are general defaults for typical path variables. (Although they may differ, these examples are common.):
%WinDir% = \WINDOWS (Windows 9x/ME/XP/Vista), \WINNT (Windows NT/2000)
%SystemDir% = \WINDOWS\SYSTEM (Windows 98/ME), \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 (Windows XP/Vista), \WINNT\SYSTEM32 (Windows NT/2000)
%ProgramFiles% = \Program Files
Symptoms
This symptoms of this detection are the files, registry, and network communication referenced in the characteristics section.
Method of Infection
Viruses are self-replicating. They are often spread by a network or by transmission to a removable medium such as a removable disk, writable CD, or USB drive. Viruses may also spread by infecting files on a network file system or a file system that is shared by another computer.
Removal
AVERT recommends to always use latest DATs and engine. This threat will be cleaned if you have this combination.

Overview -
This is a virus detection. Viruses are programs that self-replicate recursively, meaning that infected systems spread the virus to other systems, which then further propagate the virus. Although many viruses contain a destructive payload, it's quite common for viruses to do nothing more than spread from one system to another.
