W32/Nanpy-A is a worm for the Windows platform. It may spread to vulnerable
computers via the RPC-DCOM exploit, and attempt to redirect access to various
banking websites.
When first run W32/Nanpy-A copies itself to <System>\mmsvc32.exe.
The following registry entry is created to run mmsvc32.exe on startup:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Microsoft Network Services Controller
<System>\mmsvc32.exe
W32/Nanpy-A modifies the HOSTS file, mapping the URLs of banking websites to a
remote IP. At the time of writing, this IP address is not functional.
