When first run W32/Looked-Y copies itself to <Windows>\rundl132.exe and creates the file <Windows>\Dll.dll. This file is also detected as W32/Looked-S.
The virus infects EXE files found on the infected computer. The virus also attempts to copy itself to remote network shares.
Many files with the name "_desktop.ini" are created, in various folders on the infected computer. These files are harmless text files.
