Spreads via€¦

Removable and network drives
Worm:Win32/Vobfus.WF may create the following files on targeted drives when spreading:

  • :\passwords.exe
  • :\porn.exe
  • :\secret.exe
  • :\sexy.exe
  • :\subst.exe
  • :\xueojoc.exe

It also places an autorun.inf file in the root directory of the targeted drive. Such autorun.inf files contain execution instructions for the operating system, so that when the removable drive is accessed from another computer supporting the Autorun feature, the malware is launched automatically.
Note: This worm was observed to write an executable and create an autorun.inf file on a targeted drive in our automated testing environment. This is particularly common malware behavior, generally utilized in order to spread malware from computer to computer. It should also be noted that autorun.inf files on their own are not necessarily a sign of infection, as they are used by legitimate programs and installation CDs.
