CHARACTERISTICS
Win32.Lovmus is a trojan that alters the user's Internet Explorer start page and Recycle Bin icon text.
Method of Installation
When executed, this trojan copies itself to the %System% directory as BCFolder.exe and modifies the registry:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\open = "%System%\BCfolder.exe explorer.exe /idlist,%I,%L"
Note: '%System%' is a variable location. The worm determines the location of the current System folder by querying the operating system. The default installation location for the System directory for Windows 2000 and NT is C:\Winnt\System32; for 95,98 and ME is C:\Windows\System; and for XP is C:\Windows\System32.
