Upon being launched (executed) the backdoor program installs itself into the supplemental file stream of the NTFS that is associated with the system32 catalog system.
The backdoor registers itself into the system registry auto run key:
HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun (assigned name) =
rundll32 (path to the backdoor program),(options)

The file name is formed from a combination of arbitrary symbols.
The backdoor program has several options that it can use:
DebugBreakpoint
DebugInit
Init
InitService
SpawnedInit
Uninstall

To remotely uninstall itself from victim machines the backdoor uses the following command:
rundll32 ÄÉÓË:\%windir%system32:(name of the backdoor.dll file),Uninstall

When the uninstall command is sent, the afcore virus uninstalls itself from the system registry and remaining only in the file stream and is no longer managed by the start system. To remove the afcore backdoor program from the file stream it is necessary to use a special utility.
