Systems Affected: Windows 2000, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT, Windows XP
W32.Resdoc is a worm that periodically attempts to copy itself to drive A. It also copies itself as %windir%\Smss.exe.
NOTE: %windir% is a variable. The worm locates the main Windows installation folder (by default this is C:\Windows or C:\Winnt) and uses it as a destination folder.
