When an infected script is run, CS.Galadriel checks to see if the current date is June 6th, with the intent of displaying a dialog box on that date containing the message:
Ai! laurië lantar lassi súrinen!.
Yéni únótime ve rámar aldaron,
yéni ve linte yuldar vánier
mi oromardi lisse-miruvóreva
Andúne pella Vardo tellumar
nu luini yassen tintilar i eleni
ómaryo airetári-lirinen.
....
The date check is flawed, however, so it is unlikely that this will be seen.
Regardless of the date, Galadriel will scan the current directory (the directory containing the infected script) for uninfected scripts, and will attempt to write itself to the beginning of the first script it finds.
