Creates the aforementioned files and registry keys, with the \"hidden\" attribute set.

After each infection, the internet worm will send the next e-mail to some AV companies: Subject: Hi,i\'m 100% sure i\'m infected! Body: mmm...if you received this mail,then someone has been infected with W32.CyberWolf.B@mm => a new massmailer worm. For every infection this worm does,you\'ll receive an email like this. It has never been my intention to cause your mailbox any harm,nor mailbomb it. Its just so that you can have a quite accurate view on how many infections..because most of the times,Av companies are miles away from the real number... and will attempt to open several internet pages in the default internet browser.
