Process activity

The Worm creates the following process(es):

%original file name%.exe:1820

The Worm injects its code into the following process(es):

Au_.exe:356
Explorer.EXE:512

Mutexes

The following mutexes were created/opened:
No objects were found.

File activity

The process %original file name%.exe:1820 makes changes in the file system.
