This Trojan actually talks to the user, telling him/her, "You have been infected I repeat you have been infected and your system files have been deleted. Sorry. Have a nice day and bye bye."

It modifies the Windows registry such that neither the programs installed nor the task manager can run. Besides, it also blocks the running of files with common extensions like COM, EXE, BAT, HTML, in order to prevent interference.
