Win32.Rmnet.12 is a complex multicomponent virus which consists of several modules and is able to self-replicate. When initiated, Win32.Rmnet.12 checks which web browser is set as a system default browser, and if not detected, Win32.Rmnet.12 affects Microsoft Internet Explorer and inserts its code into the web browser process. Then Win32.Rmnet.12 uses the hard drive serial number to create its own file name, saves itself into the autorun folder of the current user and assigns the attribute 'hidden' to its file. The configuration file of Win32.Rmnet.12 is saved into the same folder. Then, Win32.Rmnet.12 uses an inserted routine to find out the name of a control server and attempts to connect to it. Win32.Rmnet.12 can propagate by exploiting browser vulnerabilities that allow attackers to save and run executables upon loading a website. Uninstall Win32.Rmnet.12 with a legitimate anti-virus program immediately after detection.
