When Spyware.Sesui is installed, it performs the following actions:
  1. Gathers email addresses and user names from the compromised computer, and attempts to send this information to a predetermined email address on the se-sui.com domain.

  2. Adds the value:

    "Start Page" = "[http://]se-sui.com/[REMOVED].php?m=[EMAIL ADDRESS]0&n=[USER NAME]-l"

    to the registry subkey:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main

    in order to redirect the Internet Explorer home page to a Web site on the se-sui.com domain.

    Note: This results in an attempt to register a pornographic service.

  3. Attempts to open a WMV file from [http://]se-sui.com/[REMOVED]/movie/

  4. Creates the file [JAPANESE CHARACTERS].txt on the Windows desktop, which asks the user to pay a fee for the pornographic service registered above.

    Note: The variable [JAPANESE CHARACTERS] may be displayed as a string of random characters on compromised computers that do not have a Japanese language operating system installed.
