The virus gets completely installed only after rebooting two times.

It uses cacls.exe to change some permission setting (not yet discovered)

It saves printscreen images in c:recycledWinLiveUpdate32 at an interval of 30 seconds
so it eats up the space for your c: if u are affected by this virus for long time

It saves some processes goining on the system in c:recycledWinLiveUpdate32scrdata in files namely Apps.data, Files.dat, Keys.data, scr.data, lgstat.ini

In simple words: it keeps a complete track about you computer.

Apps.data

    hello piyush
    i have p3 and windows xp . on my desktop i see the message,” regsvr.exe is curropt file”

  14. Venkatesh Says:

    Hi Piyush,

    I’ve used one of your tools earlier and it worked and now I am here back to use one more.. but now, my lappy is so badly infected that I dont have permission to copy taskkill into my system32 and I dont even have permission to edit my registry. It says “registry editing has been disabled by your administrator” and when i try to copy taskkill to system32, it says “you need permission to perform this action”.

    I am using windows vista(32 bit) Home Premium on my HP laptop with Intel Core 2 Duo T7250 @ 2 GHz, 2GB RAM. This virus has been chewing my brain as it doesnt let me do things even in safe mode. Help in this regard would be appreciated.. Thanks :)

    -Venki
