W32.Doomhunter is a worm that attempts to spread to the machines that are infected with W32.Mydoom@mm variants.
Type: Worm
When W32.Doomhunter runs, it does the following:
Copies itself as %System%\worm.exe.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: %System% is a variable. The worm locates the System folder and copies itself to that location. By default, this is C:\Windows\System (Windows 95/98/Me), C:\Winnt\System32 (Windows NT/2000), or C:\Windows\System32 (Windows XP).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adds the value:
"Delete Me"="worm.exe"
to the registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
so that the worm runs when you start Windows
