    W32/Surnova-D is a worm that spreads using the KaZaA network software installation and the MSN instant messenger utility. The worm will initially copy itself to the Windows folder with one of the following filenames:

    Alles-ist-vorbei.exe
    Desktop-shooting.exe
    Hello-Kitty.exe
    BigMac.exe
    Cheese-Burger.exe
    Blaargh.exe

    The registry value

    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrenVersion\Run\Supernova

    is added to the registry and points to the new copy of the worm so that the worm is run when Windows starts up.

    The following fake error message will be displayed by the worm when it is first executed:

    Application attempted to read memory at 0xFFFFFFFFh Terminating application

    W32/Surnova-D queries the registry entry

    HKLM\Software\KaZaA\LocalContent

    for a folder that is shared across the KaZaA network. If a value is not found then the folder C:\<Windows>\Media is used. The worm then creates over seventy copies of the worm in this folder with the following filenames:

    W32/Surnova-D will also attempt to send itself to contacts in the infected user's Messenger contact list. The worm will arrive with one of the following messages:

    Hehe, check this out :)
    Funny, check it out (h)
    LOL!! See this :D
    LOL!! Check this out :)
    Hehe, this is fun :)

    The worm also creates a text file in the Windows folder with a name consisting of randomly generated digits. The text file contains the text:

    W32.Supernova - Ban religion
    -------------------------------------------------------
    Religion = War
    Religion = Based on fairytales
    Wars based on fairytales?
    Ban religion, welcome to the truth
