VBS.AVM

Description VBS.AVM
WinScript.AVM is a family of parasitic viruses written in Windows Script language.
To replicate themselves they use File System Object (FSO). When run, the viruses locate the host file name, read the file contents, locate their body, search for all .VBS files in the Path directories and write themselves to the end of files. The viruses also scan and infect .VBS files the current directory as well as special directories: Desktop, MyDocuments, Startup.
The viruses also create the AVM.VBS dropper file in the Windows directory and register it in the system registry as the auto-run file. As a result, the virus dropper will be automatically executed by Windows on each rebooting.
The viruses contain the comments:
"AVM.a":

"AVM.b":
