Severity scale:

(62 / 100)

Blaxe is an Internet worm that spreads through file sharing networks using popular peer-to-peer applications. Once executed, the parasite registers itself in the system, creates a hidden folder and drops infected files with meaningful names in it. Then it shares this folder with other Internet users through Kazaa, iMesh or Grokster programs. Blaxe also silently downloads from a predetermined FTP server arbitrary potentially harmful files and runs them. One of them is the installation file of another dangerous worm called Spybot. Blaxe has the ability to infect executables located on a floppy disk. The worm runs on every Windows startup.

Blaxe properties:
• Connects itself to the internet
• Hides from the user
• Stays resident in background
