Infection Length: 32,560 bytes
Systems Affected: Windows 98, Windows 95, Windows XP, Windows Me, Windows Vista, Windows NT, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000

Once executed, the virus searches for python script files with the following extensions:
  • .py
  • .pyw


The virus then infects the python script files by prepending the virus body onto the host code.

The virus is polymorphic and mutates its code upon each infection.
