  • %Windows\System% is a variable. The worm locates the \Windows\System folder (by default, this is C:\Windows\System or C:\Winnt\System32) and copies itself to that location.
  • %Windows\Temp% is a variable. The worm locates the \Windows\Temp folder (by default, this is C:\Windows\Temp or C:\Winnt\Temp) and copies itself to that location.


The virus also creates the text file C:%Windows%\Madonna.txt.
