MTX virus has 3 separate
programs: the virus, a worm, and a trojan. The virus installs the worm
and the trojan. Then the virus infects Win 32 exe files in the directory
in which it is ran, the windows temporary directory, and the windows directory.
When infected you can not visit or email many anti virus web sites. The
worm part of the MTX virus attempts to send duplicate copies of any email
sent with the MTX virus as a attachment. The trojan part of the MTX virus
auto loads through the registry. The trojan downloads a file and then runs
it. This can result in further virus/trojan infections. Do note there is
no manual removal and windows must be reinstalled after uninfecting. Here
is a list of common names MTX virus uses:
