Kak worm

Kak worm

KAK (Kagou Anti Krosoft) is a VBScript worm that uses a bug in Outlook Express to spread itself.

On the first day of month, on 5:00 pm, the worm uses shutdown.exe to initiate a shutdown and show a popup with text "kagou anti krosoft says not today!". The worm also adds a registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRuncAg0u and edits autoexec.bat to make Windows launch it on startup.

The worm adds these commands to autoexec.bat: @echo off C:WindowsStart MenuProgramsStartUpkak.hta Del C:WindowsStart MenuProgramsStartUpkak.hta
