I-Worm.Sysid

Description I-Worm.Sysid

This is an Internet worm that spreads in infected e-mails by using MS Outlook. The worm itself is a Windows executable written in Delphi and compressed by Aspack PE EXE compression utility. The worm's file size (compressed) is about 200K, the original (uncompressed) size is about 400K.
The worm installs itself into the system, and then periodically accesses MS Outlook and sends infected messages. There are no payload routines found in the worm code.
The worm hides its activity pretending to be a "Personal ID Generator" utility. This utility uses strings in Chinese coding, so it cannot be truly visible under non-Chinese Windows.
At the same time as the worm displays the "Personal ID Generator" window, it installs itself into Windows. To do this, it gets the names of the Windows and Windows system directories and copies itself to there with the "SYSID.EXE" name. In case the worm cannot detect the Windows directory, it uses hard-coded names:
C:WINNTSYSTEM32SYSID.EXE
C:WINNTSYSID.EXE
C:WINDOWSSYSTEMSYSID.EXE
C:WINDOWSSYSID.EXE
To run each time Windows starts, the worm registers its copy in the system registry in the auto-run section:
HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun
WindowsVersion = "sysid"
The worm uses a trick to hide this record. Upon being activated, the worm deletes that record from the registry, and upon exiting, restores it. To stay active as long as possible, the worm leaves its copy in the Windows memory as a hidden application (service). So the worm is active up to the moment Windows is shut down, and worm's record in the system registry is not visible. At the moment Windows is shut down, the worm restores the registry record.
As a result, the worm record cannot be read by standard RegEdit - it simply does not exist when Windows has completed its start-up procedure, and up to the moment Windows is rebooted:
Upon each restart, Windows gets a worm file name from the system registry and runs it; the worm then deletes that record and stays in the system memory awaiting Windows restart. At that moment, the worm's registry record does not exist.
Upon Windows shut down, the worm restores its registry record, and it is ready to run the worm again upon the next Windows restart. At that moment, the registry record exists, but it cannot be read by standard utilities.
To spread via e-mail messages, the worm runs a file helper. This file is a VisualBasicScript application, and is created by the worm in the Windows system directory with the WINVER.VBS name. The VBS program in this file gains access to MS Outlook, obtains randomly selected names from the AddressBook, and creates and sends messages to these addresses. The number of addresses infected depends on the total number of addresses in the AddressLists. In case there is less than 200 addresses, the worm sends messages to 10% of them; otherwise, (more than 200 messages) the worm sends infected e-mails to 2% of them.
The infected message body is empty. The message Subject is randomly selected from all subject variants found in the "Sent items" Outlook list.
The message has four attached files. First is the worm EXE copy with a name randomly selected from 100 variants (see below); second, the attached file is randomly selected from .JPEG, .JPG, .DOC and .XLS files found in "C:My Documents" folder. Two other attached files are e-mail messages randomly selected from the "Sent items" list.

BadBoy.1000.c

Description BadBoy.1000.c

This is a harmless memory resident parasitic encrypted virus. It hooks INT 21h and writes itself at the beginning of COM files are executed. This virus uses System File Table on infection. It is divided on 9 blocks of code and data (installation block, data block, INT 21h block e.t.c.). When the virus installs itself into the memory, 8 of these 9 blocks can be rearranged in any order depending on the system timer. On infection the virus saves encrypted image of its TSR copy into the file, so orders of code blocks in two infected file can be different.
The virus contains the text:
Pile of shit
The Worthless Piece of shit virus that is a joke.
