Virus type: File Infector

Destructive: Yes

Aliases: W32.LazyMin.31, W32.Lamin.B

This memory-resident file infector searches all drives (local or mapped) for suitable .EXE files to infect.

It has backdoor capabilities, which enables the virus to open port 6667 and listen for commands from a malicious user to process on the machine. It has the ability to carry out the following malicious actions remotely, thus compromising system security:

Steal system information and passwords
Format the hard drive
Steal clipboard contents
Log keystrokes and screen snapshots
Close an application
Restarts the system
Clear the CMOS
Execute a file
Start an FTP server
Change the port of the FTP server
List processes
It also attempts to terminate certain processes.

It runs on Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000 and XP.
