Guest
Also known as: W32/Paps (McAfee).

Method of infection:

Win32.Paps.C is a mass mailing worm, which propagates via email.
It arrives as an UPX packed 255,888 byte executable file inside an email attachement.
When executed the worm copies itself to %Windows%\win32config.exe
and creates the following files:
%Windows%\win32apps1.txt
%Windows%\win32apps2.txt
%Windows%\win32apps3.txt
%Windows%\win32apps4.txt
%Windows%\strings.txt
%Windows%\KERNEL32.DLL - the copy of the worm
The worm also drops iphist.dat file to the location from where it was originaly executed.
The worm sets the following registry to ensure it runs on every system boot:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Win32Config = %Windows\win32config.exe
Note: '%Windows%' is a variable locations. The worm determines the location of the folder by querying the operating system. The default installation location for the Windows directory for Windows 2000 and NT is C:\Winnt; for 95,98 and ME is C:\Windows; and for XP is C:\Windows.

Method of distribution:

Via E-mail
The worm sends itself as an attachment to email addresses, which it collects
on the affected computer from files with the following extentions:

.doc
.txt
.wab
.rtf
.htm
.html
.dbx
.xml
.msg
.php
.cgi
.pst
.nk2

The worm will try to use www.whatismyip.com
to determine the local computer IP addess it is running from and also
use www.google.de to collect more email addresses by querying receipence name strings.

It will avoid sending itself to email addresses with the following substrings:

VIRUS
PESTPATROL
KASPERSKY
SOPHOS
SYMANTEC
NORTON
AVP
ANTIVIR
FREEAV
EWIDO
F-SECURE
MCAFEE
NAI.COM
BUSE@
