Worm_lineage.auf

This worm may be downloaded unknowingly by a user when visiting malicious Web sites.

It drops copies of itself. It drops files/components. It creates registry entries to enable its automatic execution at every system startup.

It drops copies of itself in all removable drives.

It steals account-related information, such as user names and passwords, from popular online games installed on the system. It then sends all gathered information to a predetermined site using HTTP POST.

This routine risks the exposure of the user's account information, which may then lead to the unauthorized use of the stolen data.
