Via P2P File Sharing
In an attempt to spread via P2P file sharing networks, the worm initially locates the following shared folders of the most common P2P programs:
\KMD\Shared Folder \Kazaa\My Shared Folder \Morpheus\Shared Folder \Grokster\My Grokster \Bear Share\Shared \Edonkey2000\Incoming \limewire\Shared \Shareaza\downloads \icq\shared files \WinMX\my shared folder
The worm searches for these folders in the “Program Files” directory, which it locates by referencing this registry entry:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ProgramFilesDir
The worm copies itself to these shared folders using the following file names (note: if these paths do not exist, the worm fails to copy itself):
Norton 2004 Crack Kasperky AV Universal Key Dark Coderz Alliance Anti-hacker Utility Cracks mega warez collection Sex – totally free porn Easy credit card validation Yahoo hacker Webmail official hacker Free porn sites accounts
with these extensions
.exe .scr .pif .bat .com .cmd
For example:
C:\Program Files\Kazaa\My Shared Folder\Cracks mega warez collection.pif C:\Program Files\\Bear Share\Shared\Dark Coderz Alliance.cmd
Via IRC: Intended
In an attempt to spread via IRC networks, specifically targeting mIRC clients, the worm copies itself to the folder “c:\mirc” or “c:\mirc32” as “Manifesto AntiCensore Pilif.txt.exe”. The worm also modifies the file “script.ini” with the intention that the file “Manifesto AntiCensore Pilif.txt.exe” will be sent to anyone that joins a channel that the local affected user is already on.
Due to an error in the modified “script.ini” file, “Manifesto AntiCensore Pilif.txt.exe” is not sent to other mIRC clients. The following message, however, is still sent:
“DCA are fighting for free speech. Get their manifesto now!”
Via E-mail
Win32.Fili.A spreads via e-mail. The worm generates e-mail with variable Message Bodies and Attachment names, although the Subject line is blank. The worm locates e-mail addresses to send itself to using the user's address book. The worm creates the file %System%\adrbook to store collected e-mail addresses.
Possible Message Bodies:

The attachment can have any of the following extensions:

Note: In our laboratory testing, the worm sent e-mail without a Subject or Message Body due to a bug in the worm's code. The worm was sent as an attached file with an empty message.
