When run this worm will copy itself to the Windows System directory using the file name [SYSTEM] eadme.exe. It will also extract and install two other files:

[SYSTEM]onde.exe
[SYSTEM]doc.exe

These are additional components of the worm.

ONDE.EXE (18944 bytes) contains the main worm functionality, as well as a backdoor.
DOC.EXE (1536 bytes) is a program that loads ONDE.EXE as a DLL.
ONDE.EXE installs a Mutex called imain_mutex to avoid being loaded twice.

Registry keys created by the worm:

HKCUSOFTWAREDateTime2 port = [listen port]
HKCUSOFTWAREDateTime2 frun = 1
HKCUSOFTWAREDateTime2 uid = [random no.] HKCUSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRunGouday.exe = [SYSTEM] eadme.exe

The worm contains its own SMTP engine and will send itself to addresses found on the local computer. These addresses are picked from files of type .wab, .txt, .htm, .htm, .dbx, .mdx, .eml, .nch, .mmf, .ods, .cfg, .asp, .php, .pl, .adb and.sht.
