W2k.Team is a simple virus that infects .exe files that are in the same folder as the virus when the virus is executed. The virus runs only on Windows 2000 and Windows XP systems.
NTFS streams are virtually hidden from users. This is because NT commands or standard Windows 2000/XP applications do not display them. A given file on an NTFS partition is basically an unnamed stream of a file. Any file can have associated named streams. These streams can be accessed during standard file operations. Most Windows 2000/XP programs do not use named streams.
