Most texts in such letters are written in Russian. Monikey also creates infected files with meaningful names in shared folders of installed peer-to-peer applications. The worm's payload is comprised of several harmful functions. Monikey blocks access to the most popular security-related web sites and runs an integrated trojan designed to steal user confidential information. This threat collects passwords, login names and other user sensitive data and sends it out by e-mail. Monikey automatically runs on every Windows startup.
