It targets index files as well as creating files in image directories, and even modifies webalizer and awstats files given the chance. These are likely to be the backdoors. Once Gumblar has infected a webserver, the website on that server becomes a carrier, and spreads the virus to new computers. Anyone browsing an infected website can pick up the virus. It utilises vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash and Adobe Reader in order to install itself on a PC.
