W32.HLLW.Moega.AG is a variant of W32.HLLW.Moega.E that has backdoor capabilities. It attempts to spread through the local area network. The worm connects to an IRC server to receive further instructions from an attacker.

The W32.HLLW.Moega.AG executable icon looks similar to that of the Windows XP Windows Update executable, Wupdated.exe. See the "Technical Details" section for an illustration.
