W32/Autorun-QA is a worm for the Windows platform.

When first run W32/Autorun-QA copies itself to <System>\XP-<random characters>.EXE and creates the following files:

<Temp>\e_4\eAPI.fne
<Temp>\e_4\internet.fne
<Temp>\e_4\krnln.fnr
<Temp>\e_4\RegEx.fnr

The file eAPI.fne is detected as Mal/Behav-010. The other files are all detected as W32/Autorun-QA.

W32/AutoRun-QA may copy itself to removable drives as the file Recycled.exe and create the file Autorun.inf detected as Mal/AutoInf-A. If there any directories on the removable drive, they will be set to Hidden and W32/AutoRun-PZ will be copied to the drive as <Folder name>.exe.
