IRC.Forca.Worm is an IRC worm. It contains desktop modification settings and also VBScript code. The worm may be received from other infected users of mIRC, an Internet Relay Chat client.

This is an IRC worm, designed to distribute itself through mIRC configuration files. This script is designed for computers that run the Microsoft !Plus add-on. This script may be received while chatting with an infected user during an IRC session. The script may arrive in the name "LaraCroft.theme."

If the script is run, it writes a small script in the Windows folder named "Win.vbe." This script is coded to modify the file "Script.ini" in one of the following possible locations:

  • C:\Mirc
  • D:\Mirc
  • E:\Mirc
  • C:\Progra~1\Mirc
  • D:\Progra~1\Mirc
  • E:\Progra~1\Mirc

The file Script.ini is modified to send a note to the host system with the following text:

"Hi there!! Check out tiz Lara Croft desktop theme: Click on the Preview screen saver button, its the best i've ever seen"

The script "LaraCroft.theme" contains instructions to copy itself into the Windows folder and create the file C:\Test.bat. The script contains instructions to modify the computer and desktop settings through the theme configuration setting sections.
