Panda Labs discovered an application whose main function is to turn an executable file into a worm, giving it the capacity to spread itself. Even though it’s aim is to give a Trojan the spread capability of a worm, it works with any executable file.
It also has advanced options to select a certain infection date, disable different options of the operating system, such as the Task Manager, the Windows Registry Editor, Folder Options, and different browsers such as Internet Explorer, Firefox or Opera. Additionally, the worms can be configured to display a message when they are run or activate themselves when Windows is started.
