W32.Bokya.Int is an intended worm that attempts to disguise itself as a pictures folder.
This threat is written in the Microsoft Visual Basic (VB) programming language and is compressed with UPX. Because this threat has been modified, it cannot be unpacked by UPX itself. The VB run-time libraries must be installed on the computer for it to execute.
NOTE: Symantec Security Response was not able to reproduce the replication behavior of this worm during testing in the antivirus lab. However, the threat contains code designed to spread itself to the root folder of all the drives.
