Type
Win32 worm

Description
W32/Doomjuice-B is a worm which spreads by exploiting a backdoor installed by W32/MyDoom-A. The functionality of the worm is similar to W32/Doomjuice-A but without the part of the code that drops the archive with the W32/MyDoom-A source code.
The worm creates a copy of itself named regedit.exe in the Windows system folder and creates the following registry entry to ensure that the copy is run when Windows is started:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\NeroCheck
= <system folder>\regedit.exe
