This is a parasitic memory resident virus.

Once launched, the virus copies itself to the Windows root directory as "svchost.exe":

%WinDir%\svchost.exe

It then registers this file as a key in the system registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices]
"PowerManager" = "%Windir%\svchost.exe"

This ensures that a copy of the virus will be launched each time the infected machine is rebooted.

The virus searches the victim machine's logical drives for Win32 PE EXE files which have an .exe extension, and infects them. The size of infected files increases by 36352 bytes.
