Additionally, it sends an hoax written in Turkish to the affected user's contact list of Outlook. It is designed to modify the message that is displayed when the computer is started to Format All Disks in order to frighten users. Due to the modifications it carries out, it could prevent the affected computer from being restarted. ArmyMovement.A does not spread automatically using its own means.

The means of transmission used include, among others, floppy disks, CD-ROMs, email messages with attached files, Internet downloads, FTP, IRC channels, peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing networks, etc. |
