- Log on to IRC channels
- Upload/download files
- Initiate a Denial of Service attack
- Access websites
- Mass-mail the worm via SMTP
W32/Oror.e@MM copies itself as a [random file name].exe in the Windows directory and modifies the registry setting:

All Information
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 propagate the virus further. While many viruses contain a destructive payload, it's quite common for viruses to do nothing more than spread from one system to another.
