Title: Falsu

Type: Worms

Remove Falsu. Removal instructions

Severity scale:

(44 / 100)

Falsu is a worm that spreads through the Kazaa file sharing network and IRC chat channels using the mIRC client. Once executed, the parasite silently installs itself to the system, modifies Kazaa settings, creates infected files with meaningful names in the Kazaa shared folder and attempts to send itself to IRC users. However, the latter function doesn't work due bugs in Falsu code. The worm is designed only to spread and therefore does not carry any destructive payload. Falsu automatically runs on every Windows startup.

Falsu properties:
• Hides from the user
• Stays resident in background
