Aliases
Worm.P2P.Darby.f, W32.HLLW.Darby, WORM_DARBY.D

Type
Win32 worm

Description
W32/Darby-E is a multi-lingual email, IRC and peer-to-peer (P2P) worm. When the worm is first run it displays the following fake error message in English or Spanish:
"The file this total or partially damaged, impossible to open the file"
"El archivo esta total o parcialmente danado, imposible abrir el archivo"

W32/Darby-E occasionally connects to a website to download another worm - the one currently at this location is detected as W32/Capside-B.
