More Information
W32/Nofer-C is a virus which tries to email itself to addresses extracted from a variety of sources on your computer. W32/Nofer-C also infects programs already on your computer.
W32/Nofer-C copies itself into the Windows folder, using the filenames svchost.exe and kernel.dll (usually 66048 bytes). W32/Nofer-C also copies itself to a randomly-named hidden file (e.g. Uhy43cuAqUQ.exe) in your Windows folder. The virus then adds a registry entry to:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
so that the hidden file is launched every time you logon to your computer.
