BootMerlin is a worm that spreads by copying itself to local and mapped network drives. Once executed, the parasite secretly installs itself to the system. It modifies Windows Boot Manager (the C:\boot.ini file) to change the Windows selection displayed at boot time to anti-Windows or anti-Microsoft text (in Spanish). BootMerlin can also display a wizard animation that displays messages in Spanish. The worm does not carry any destructive payload. It automatically runs on every Windows startup.
