It uses P2P to spread itself, because it poses itself as a utility to make copies of commercial DVDs.

There are 2 things in my mind now:
1. Keeps the pirates away
2. Legal software / games stop working because their MP3 sounds/music tracks are removed

It's quite an original worm don't you think?

Nice, though most games don't use direct file extensions of even expose files. Lest those Mod developers with sticky hand somehow get ahold of it.

Certainly interesting though.
