==Side effects== An indication of the worm's infection of a given [[Personal Computer|PC]] is the existence of the files <code>C:\win.log</code>, <code>C:\win2.log</code> or <code>C:\WINDOWS\avserve2.exe</code> on the PC's hard disk, the <code>ftp.exe</code> running randomly and 100% CPU usage, as well as seemingly random crashes with LSA Shell (Export Version) caused by faulty code used in the worm. The most characteristic symptom of the worm is the shutdown timer that appears due to the worm crashing LSASS.exe.
