The virus has already infected several million computers across China and has received a five-star severity ranking. it converts icons of infected programs into a picture of a panda burning joss-sticks. Some versions of this virus also allow remote access to the compromised machines and remote arbitrary code execution, alter and steal data, download additional malware, open links to websites, download updates and install themselves in the registry.
