Upon first execution of the worm it copies itself to %WINDIR%\csrss.exe and executes it.
The worm creates the registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\explorer.exe]
and adds the value:
"Debugger"="%WINDIR%\csrss.exe"
to it.
The unpacked version of the worm contains the string:
/scannow
from this the worm derives its name.
It harvests e-mail addresses on all available hard drives, in all files having one of the following extensions:
adb
asp

mmf
msg
nch
ods
oft
php
pl
sht
shtm
stm
tbb
txt
uin
wab
wsh
xls
xml
dhtml
It avoids sending itself to addresses containing any of the following substrings:
