Aliases :

Win32.BugBear.C@mm is also known as BugBear.C.

Explanation :

When it is run for the first time, the worm drops a copy in the %SYSTEM% folder (using a random name) and programs it to execute everytime the system is started, by using the HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun registry key, then it modifies the "HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet SettingsEnableAutodial" key, so that the default dial-up Internet connection is made automatically at system startup. Then, the worm puts three files in the %SYSTEM% folder; one of them is the DLL hook (detected by BitDefender as Trojan.Keylogger.Bugbear.B), the other two are used to collect data about the infected computer.

The worm also includes anti-antivirus technologies. It attempts to terminate antivirus and firewall processes, using the Terminate Process API. Processes are enumerated in two different ways, each corresponding to a major Win32 platform. Toolhelp32 functions are used whenever possible, otherwise psapi functions are used. The worm attempts to terminate any process that contains one of these strings:

Then, the worm looks for e-mail addresses in the IE cache directory and in several mail databases and tries to send itself to the addresses collected, using its own SMTP engine. The worm has a rather big dictionary, so that the messages it produces are quite varied and very realistical.
