Torvel is an Internet worm that spreads through file sharing networks and by e-mail in messages with infected attachments. The parasite sends malicious letters to addresses it finds in the system. It doesn't depend on a particular mail client, as it contacts local mail server directly. Torvel creates infected files with meaningful names and drops them into shared folders of Kazaa, ed2k-it and Xolox peer-to-peer applications. This is done in order to trick other users into downloading and executing such files. The worm runs on every Windows startup. It doesn't carry any destructive payload.

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