Virus Elkern
Elkern is associated with Klez. The worm Klez creates a pure viral body of the virus, using a random file name, in the C:\Program Files folder and activates it. Then the virus runs on its own.
Elkern infects randomly chosen Portable Executable (PE) files in folders and subfolders.
Elkern contains a bug that causes files to be infected repeatedly. This can result in infected files that cannot be repaired.
Elkern does not drop any files, and it does not modify any registry keys.
