(57 / 100)

Renama is an Internet worm that spreads by e-mail through messages with infected attachments. Once the user opens such attachment, the parasite secretly installs itself to the system. It opens the Microsoft Outlook inbox and replies to all incoming letters. It also attempts to copy itself to all shared folders it finds on computers in the local network. Renama disables some system tools like the Registry Editor, the Task Manager and the Command Prompt and alters certain system and software settings. The worm terminates some running processes related to mostly office and chat programs. It also creates infected files using names of legitimate applications, which run on system startup. Renama runs on every Windows startup.

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