2 viruses that destroy data

The following 2 computer worms belong to cyclical, dispersal operations on a fixed day every month. They are extremely dangerous because when the data is destroyed by these two viruses, it cannot be recovered.

They worm the W32.Chir computer

W32.Chir.B@mm is a computer worm that spreads via e-mail. It usually uses the SMTP tool to send e-mail to the email addresses it finds from .wab, ​​.adc, .db, .doc and .xls files.

Emails attached to infected files often contain the following content:

From: @ yahoo.com or imissyou@btamail.net.cn

Subject: is coming!

Attachments: PP.exe

When the device is infected with W32.Chir.B@mm it finds all the internal data drives and attacks the files with the tml, .exe, and .scr files. Its extremely dangerous feature is that on the 1st of every month it automatically overwrites 4460 bytes of files with extensions such as adc, .doc, and .xls, making it impossible to read anything in Word files or Excel and all of the victim's office data will not be open at all.

Detailed description:

When the computer worm works, it copies itself into a file named Runouce.exe to the C: windowssystem32 directory (with WinXP) or C: winntsytem32 (with Win2k)

At the same time, W32.Chir worm also added 1 key in the Registry

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun

Runonce = WindowsSystemRunouce.exe

Therefore, the active version of the computer worm always starts up with Windows.
