While loading the virus it copies its body to the %SystemRoot%\System32 folder under ms??.exe name and piles ms??32.dll file in the same folder. In order to provide autorun for its copy the cleared dll-file is registered in registry HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ShellServiceObjectDelayLoad
