This Trojan arrives as attachment to email messages spammed by another malware or a malicious user.It may be downloaded unknowingly by a user when visiting malicious Web sites.
When executed, it exploits the Macro Validation Vulnerability in Microsoft Excel wherein a specially crafted document can cause the application to drop and execute an embedded .EXE file.

More information about the said vulnerability can be found in the following Microsoft Web page:http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec...47563.mspxOnce it successfully exploits the mentioned vulnerability, it is able to execute a shell code which, in turn, runs the embedded .EXE file on the affected system.
