Severity scale:

(70 / 100)

Sality is a complex virus with keylogger and backdoor functionality. Once executed, the parasite installs itself to the system, checks the current time and runs a payload if hours are equal to minutes or if date is a predetermined one.

Sality infects local executable files, deletes files associated with installed security-related software including various antiviruses and firewalls. Then it runs a keylogging module, which collects system and network information, records user login names and passwords, steals sensitive information stored in specific files and finally sends all this data to a predefined e-mail address.

Sality can also open a back door providing the remote attacker with unauthorized access to the compromised computer. The intruder can control the system and steal other user sensitive information.

Impossible to remove once the virus attaches itself to the system, removing may permanently damage system files. No choice but to reformat.
