Comment: From Viruslist.com
This Trojan does not destroy anything, but is very annoying. It copies its link to a start-up folder to be run during Windows bootup, does not allow it to "kill" its task, and makes itself known every time. It is pretty hard to remove, because it blocks its application and VB DLL, re-creates its link in the start-up directory or even the whole directory if deleted. Upon attempting to kill its task, the Trojan opens several more essences of itself as 'punishment'.
