Godzilla.A uses Outlook Express 5.0 to spread as HTML source in each email from infected machine. To do this it saves its code in Update.hta in Windows Startup folder:
C:\WINDOWS\START MENU\PROGRAMS\STARTUP\
so it will be executed next time when the system is restarted.
The virus also saves itself in C:\Windows folder in a file Sign.html. By modifying the Windows registry:
HKCU\Identities\DefaultUserID\Software\Microsoft\OutlookExpress\5.0\Signatures
it changes Outlook Express signature to use Sign.html. On that way the worm code will be embedded in each outgoing email message.
