• Computer networks (mapped drives): it creates copies of itself in mapped drives.
• Computer networks (shared resources): it creates copies of itself in shared network resources to which it has access.
• File infection: it infects different types of files, which are then distributed through any of the usual means: floppy disks, email messages with attachments, Internet download, files transferred via FTP, IRC channels, P2P file sharing networks, etc.
