## What it is and how it works
The malware exploits a known bug in Windows 10, which provokes a bluescreen of death. In addition, the malware will create an entry in the Autostart menu and launch itself at every system startup. This is followed by an endless loop of BSODs.

The bug is described here: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/windows-10-bug-crashes-your-pc-when-you-access-this-location/
