The backdoor is configured to listen on TCP ports 6351 and 6352.
Searches for the files that have the .exe extensions on all the hard drives, starting with drive C.
The worm searches all the folders on the hard drive, except those with the following names: Windows; System; System32
It does not infect the files that have the following names: IEXPLORE.EXE; ccApp.exe; ccRegVfy.exe
Prepends itself to some of the files that it finds.
If the worm is executed on May 5, 2005, the virus will display a message box containing the text:
