Win32/Helompy is a dangerous worm that circulates by replicating itself to the root of removable drives. The main payload of Win32/Helompy is to record account credentials and login information and forward them to a remote server, where the attacker could retrieve them for use. At its roots, Win32/Helompy is a compiled AutoIt script and presents itself in an innocent way by using the icon of a folder, thus tricking computer users into trusting they are purely opening a folder once double-clicked on it. When Win32/Helompy is initiated, it creates a directory with the same name and opens the folder using a new instance of Explorer. Win32/Helompy creates a file folder and replicates itself to that directory with 'hidden', 'system' and 'read-only' file attributes, to disguise itself. The new copy of Win32/Helompy may be named 'configuration.exe', '1.exe' or 'lsass.exe'. Win32/Helompy modifies the registry so that it can run each time you start up Windows. As a payload, Win32/Helompy awaits login information to be entered for various web pages or services. Remove Win32/Helompy as soon as possible.
